Lot #102: Antique 1931 Taylor University Basketball Team Photographs

Two original black and white photographs of a men's basketball team mounted on a protective cardboard folder. These photographs document the 1931 athletic season of Taylor University, a private evangelical Christian university in Upland, Indiana. During this era, collegiate sports were transitioning into more organized competitive leagues. Team portraits like these were often distributed to players as mementos and used for university yearbooks, reflecting the early traditions of intercollegiate athletics in the Midwest. Excellent vintage condition. The prints maintain high contrast with minimal silvering or fading. The mounting folder shows slight edge wear and handwritten notation consistent with age.
