Evolution of a Pitcher" frames its subject as a process, the changing form of the man on the mound, a question that drew wide interest in the 1880s. Pitching rules shifted quickly in that decade: the distance from the pitcher's box to home plate was set at 50 feet in 1881, and overhand delivery was allowed in 1884, ending years of underhand and sidearm throwing. H. S. Crocker & Company, a San Francisco printing firm, issued many sporting and advertising prints, and this work reflects the period's appetite for baseball imagery.
