About this photograph

This chromolithograph baseball card portrait was produced by the American Tobacco Company in 1911. It depicts Wild Bill Donovan of the Detroit Tigers.

The card was created using chromolithography with added hand coloring, a common technique for tobacco cards of the period. Beyond these production details and Donovan's team affiliation, the archive record provides no further information about the player's career, the specific card series, or the circumstances of the photograph on which the portrait was based.

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