Rather than a single ballpark or team, this print takes the World Series itself as its subject, the annual championship that has closed the Major League Baseball season since 1903 and pits the American League pennant winner against the National League's. John Falter, a prolific American illustrator, was best known for his Saturday Evening Post covers, which captured everyday national life with bright color and careful detail. Those qualities make his baseball pictures a good window into how the sport was pictured for a mass audience in the mid-twentieth century. Look closely at the crowd and setting for the period flavor that made his work so familiar to readers.
