Stretched across a nine-by-28-inch panorama, this gelatin silver print lines up the Cleveland club of the American League in 1922, with each sitter's name and position labeled on the image itself. Wide team portraits like this were a common record of the era, when clubs and players wanted a keepsake of a season. The copyright deposit dated May 15, 1922, filed through the National Press Photographic Service, shows the picture was registered as a photograph in its own right and not only as a team souvenir. Cleveland was then an established American League franchise, and the print offers a close look at how the players were posed and dressed for the camera in the early 1920s.
