Item description from seller

Folio, 191 pages, clothbacked boards; dj lacks a large chip in the middle of the spine, under the title; long closed tear at top of turn-in; porfolio is fine in Artist Riger joined Sports Illustrated magazine in 1954. Maule was an editor there. "I try to develop a point of view for each game, relating it to the teams involved. If you don't establish this continuity your photographs are likely to be accidental, fragmentary, and meaningless. When I take a photograph I am making an illustration, a representative picture of that game and of all football too. As in art, the photograpjh must extend beyond the actual fact." - Robt. Riger. Laid in is Riger's portfolio of five of his frameable football prints, as new in a paper portfolio: "The Old Pros". Featured are Jim Thorpe, Sammy Baugh, Sid Luckman, Red Grange, Bulldog Turner, Bob Waterfield.

Store description

Joyce And Company, established 1975, works out of an office near Chicago's Loop. There are usually 15-20,000 books on-site and available for browsing. Mr. Joyce was a founding partner of the former Chicago Rare Book Center, of Chicago and Evanston, Illinois. Proprietor Tom Joyce appeared regularly as the book appraiser on "The Appraisal Fair", seen on Home And Garden Television, HGTV. We still do appraisals on a wide variety of subjects, from literature to history, fine books, children's, presses, theology, law, medicine, maps, autographs. These topics are reflected in our inventory, and much more, including Sherlockiana. In addition to regional institutions nearby Chicago and Illinois, we have been able to place rare materials with the American Antiquarian Society, The Library of Congress, The Bodleian Library, Harvard and Yale Universities, the Presidential Libraries of Abraham Lincoln and George Washington, et cetera. …
