- Lot Description
Lot of 2. Silver gelatin photograph of the Harvard-Yale Football Game, 27.5 x 7 in. (visible), matted and framed to 34 x 13.5 in. November 21, 1914, by Joseph Candee of New Haven, CT. Taken from inside the "Yale Bowl," the photograph depicts an enormous crowd of onlookers watching as play unfolds on the field.
"The Game," otherwise known to Ivy League fans as the annual Harvard-Yale football game, was first played in 1875 and is traditionally the final game of the season for each of the teams. This photograph shows the 35th game in the rivalry. Significantly, this was the first game ever played at the Yale Bowl, which opened on November 21, 1914, with a crowd estimated at 68,000-74,000. Upon completion, it was the largest stadium in the world, and was also the first bowl-shaped stadium in the country, inspiring the design (and naming) of some of the most revered football stadiums in the country including the Rose Bowl and Michigan Stadium. The Yale Bowl indirectly helped create the term "bowl game" for a post-season football game, as the popularity of the Rose Bowl Tournament game spawned other college "bowl games" and ultimately the term "Super Bowl." Despite the excitement of the stadium opening in 1914, Harvard went on to defeat Yale 36-0.
Also included is a second panoramic photograph of a Harvard-Yale football game, 27.5 x 7 in. (visible), matted and framed to 34 x 13.5 in. November 19, 1932. Photograph taken from inside the "Yale Bowl" where Yale defeated Harvard 19-0.
Neither photograph was removed from frame for inspection. The 1914 photograph appears to have a small unknown particle attached to it approximately 1/4 across the top edge line and some minor soil. There also appears to be an approx. 2" tear in the photograph on the bottom right corner running through the text. Otherwise it is in good condition. The 1932 photograph has minor soil as well as what appear to be six fold lines or creases running vertically along the top edge line.Condition
