Massive 1926 two-part photograph of the new fieldhouse built at the University of Pennsylvania, the finest basketball court on the east coast, as it was unveiled to the public for the first time ever. The photo was used to demonstrate how nice the facility is, but in reality it provides a rare and sweeping look of how the game of basketball was played almost one hundred years ago! The center fold line is how the image was issued, otherwise it presents really well.
