Rarely if ever found and the perfect accompaniment to any world class card collection, we have the original production photo artwork for Pit Lepine’s 1933-34 V357 World Wide Gum Ice Kings card. Number #46 in the 72-card set, the original photo has been trimmed entirely of any background, with just the remaining black and white image then mounted over a brushed, grey-coloured background (just under 8” x 10”), with this then affixed to a larger, thick, art board mount with added matte (just under 10” x 12”). “Pit Lepine” has been handwritten in blue ink at the bottom of the matte along with “46”. A wax cover has been utilized that affixes along the top border, as well as a second darker cover, with brown paper adhered over the reverse.
The image is flawless, projecting brilliantly against the dark background, with glue residue encompassing the perimeter of the image, with this hidden by the matte. There is also a bit of yellowing to the wax paper cover and matte over the upper left.
