Tempting the Victorian customer with a pair of period lovelies decked out on the cover in the era's finest, this "Champions of Sports and Games" A42 booklet produced by W.S. Kimball & Co in 1888 features baseball players, boxers and track athletes to name a few. At approx 6" x 7 1/2", the original tie string from the spine is gone, with each page currently loose. The album contains all 50 card images from the Kimball N184 Champions set including ball players Tip O'Neil, Dell Darling, E.A. Burch, and Hardie Henderson, as well as sporting celebrities like Annie Oakley and John L. Sullivan. The covers show wear along the spine where the tie string once occupied (it appears to have been torn away), while the interior pages are clean, with just expected discoloration on each reverse and additional wear at the tie string openings.
