A true rarity is this early Canadian football panoramic team photo of the 1933 Ottawa Rough Riders! Canadian football greats Arnie Morrison, Abe Eliowitz, George Fraser, Tiny Herman and Dave Sprague are among the 33 members of the Rough Riders lined up shoulder-to-shoulder in this sprawling outdoor shot which was likely snapped during training camp. This incredibly rare panoramic shot measures 8" x 33" overall. It was cut into three sections, each of which has two vertical creases where each section was unfortunately folded in on itself at some point in time. The three sections were subsequently mounted together on a foam board backing. "Roughriders - 1933" is spelled out along the bottom left of the middle section with the Rough Riders' names along the bottom along with the "Photographic Stores" studio and its Sparks Street address in the lower right. The surface of the left section is in the best condition overall while the other sections each have a few gouges where parts of the images are lost. This panoramic Rough Riders team photo remains a historic Canadian football treasure despite its less-than-perfect condition.
