A virtual who's who of the sporting world during the late-19th century, this utterly desirable 1887 A16 Allen & Ginter "World's Champions" album features all 50 card images from the famous N28 World's Champions card set. At 6" x 8" and containing some of the greatest colour lithography ever produced, Jack Dempsey and John Ward grace the cover. One page has ballplayers Glasscock, Mulvey and Comiskey along with billiards player J Schaefer, one page has ballplayers Anson, Keefe, Bennett and King Kelly, one page has ballplayers Caruthers and Clarkson along with rowers Hamm and Gaudaur, one page has Annie Oakley and Bill Cody, one page has boxers Sullivan, Mitchell, Carney and McAuliffe, and one page has boxers Smith and Kilrain, with the remaining pages featuring wrestlers, billiard players and rowers. The tie string that bound the volume is now gone, with each page as well as the covers loose. The majority of the pages show light wear and display beautifully, with just the odd small tear where the tie string was inserted.
