Description
American. C. 1902. The last of the early cartridge boards was entirely made up in a paper version and unlike its predecessor 1897 board, there are no dummy cartridges attached. These 1902 lithograph boards do not show up as often as the 1897 boards and are somewhat rarer. The background colour of this board was changed to black instead of green to better illustrate the lithographed cartridge images. Same style solid oak border frame with a gold middle filet as the 1897 board.
Condition
Entire lithograph image is in very good condition. 4-5 small spots of finish loss due to abrasions. Moderate fading evident in lower quarter. Minor uniformed soiling. Varnish worn on frame at corners and along edges with several dents and scuffs. Partial replacement of back strapping that shows staining in the middle. Image is slightly recessed from the frame's right edge. Not examined outside of frame.
Provenance
From the G. Wayne Connor Collection.
