Lou Gehrig 1934 Baseball Card Art — a Goudey-era card from the Iron Horse's prime in pinstripes, when his bat anchored a Yankees lineup still warmed by the long shadow of Ruth. The lithographed portrait holds him mid-stride and unaware, four years before the disease that would take his name began quietly taking him.

About the Source

Bella Frye sources sports artifacts from American archives — the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for inventor's drawings, and from the great American tobacco-card and broadside traditions for vintage memorabilia: Allen & Ginter, T206, Cracker Jack, Boston Garter, the Negro League broadsides, and the early press photographs that documented baseball, football, golf, and the rest of the American sporting century.

Materials & Finish

Printed to order in our Pacific Northwest studio on premium 380gsm cotton canvas with archival pigment inks. Hand-finished and framed in our signature ornate frame with verdigris corner detail, available in three finishes:

• Ebony — deep black with carved ornate detailing; dramatic against light walls
• Verdigris — aged copper-green with antique patina; the signature Bella Frye look
• Bourbon — warm walnut tone with ornate relief; rich and historically grounded

Stretched canvas (frameless gallery wrap) is available for those who prefer a frameless presentation.

Where It Belongs

Game rooms, dens, sports bars, fan caves, home offices, and any space where the engineering and folklore of American sport earn wall presence. Pairs naturally with other documents from the Bella Frye Sports Memorabilia collection — patents, portraits, programs, and the artifacts of the great American game.
