This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 11/1/2011
Fascinating lacrosse action and group shots are offered here in this century-old ensemble, highlighted by two seldom-seen real photo postcards. One includes “R.A. & L. Soc. Exposition – New Westminster, BC 1907” and “New Westminster 12 Tecumseh 6” in pinkish near the top, while the other pictures and identifies gents with “Brampton” diagonally down their sweaters. “Photo by Stuart Thomson” is in the lower right corner of the latter. The Shamrocks and Tecumsehs are identified as the teams in action in a pair of identical cards, the photo taken at Toronto’s famous Hanlon’s Point and dated May 24, 1907. Two others picture the Tecumseh Lacrosse Club, posing on the Hanlon’s Point field with a figure eight roller coaster in the background. All postcards look to be in beauty crease-free condition with no writing on the (postcard) backs. Included with them is a May 8, 1883 Harper’s Young People publication (8” x 11”), with sketches of men playing lacrosse and an accompanying article.
