The Yale Fence Handcolor Art Print Howland 1890 Remarque BONUS Identify Athletes

Fascinating work of Collegiate art by A.C. Howland, “The Yale Fence”, signed 1889/90. Hand colored Photogravure, has original remarque image in lower margin indicating it is similar to an Artist Proof piece prior to printing the edition.
As a remarkable bonus, in researching we discovered a “legend” naming 14 of the Yale BMOC *Big Man On Campus” athletes who were depicted in this work. Included are Walter Camp (the Father of American Football), William “Pa Corbin, and Amos Alonzo Stagg to name a few who are identified.
We are including a photograph of the legend along with the art shown in last photo.
Picture is in excellent condition, image size is 16″ x 38″, with title 18-1/2″ x 31″, paper size 22-1/2″ x 36″. Is laid down on mat, measuring in total 25″ x 38”.
A.C Howland’s most famous piece of work, and what an incredible history to know the details of the figures that at first glance seem unimportant! The more you look, the more you find! Please see photos for details in our eBay Store Connectibles.
