1 print : chromolithograph with hand-color.


This chromolithograph with hand-coloring was produced by the American Tobacco Company in 1911 as a baseball card depicting Billy Sullivan of the Chicago White Sox. The card is a portrait format, typical of tobacco company cards issued during this period as promotional items included with cigarette packages.

No further information about Sullivan's career, position, or tenure with the White Sox is available in the archive record. The card itself remains as a physical artifact of early twentieth-century baseball memorabilia and commercial printing practices.

Compiled from the catalogue record and reference notes on the formats and events involved. The archive record above is the primary source.
