Sometimes the painting and marks on antique press photos are ugly, and sometimes they are works of art. The offered example here is one of the best pieces of press-photo art we have ever seen. A skilled artist at the Cleveland News has literally taken a photograph of a baseball player batting and turned it into a life-sized trophy. With the use of silver accents and a skilled hand, this an unbelievable piece of early press artwork, baseball or not! Dated 1923 on the back, the piece belongs in a museum!
