RPPC: African American Run Baseball Carnival Game, Ca.1914, Real Photo Postcard: $525.00
RPPC: Super rare subject features young smiling black man holding baseballs to be used in his open-air carnival game. Sharp detail. African American's trunk inside stand displays cigars for prizes, Target in back of stand is draped with U.S. flag bunting, and probably has hole in it for throwing the balls into it. Unidentified location but hat styles on crowd members suggest upper-Midwest. Event would appear to be a state/county fair judging by exhibit style buildings in right background and another tent directly behind the black man's chicken wired enclosure. White boy at far right also holds baseballs. There's an extremely light horizontal wrinkle at bottom right that probably would press out. Otherwise card condition is Fine.
