1890s Yale - Princeton Panoramic Photo
Early panoramic cabinet photos are unusual and quite rare. This 1890s photo of the Yale – Princeton football game, with a great perspective, is identified as being from the 1893 game (November 30, 1893, Manhattan Field), although I believe it may have been taken at the 1898 (November 12, 1898, at Princeton, NJ) contest, judging from the background. The photo minus the mat measures approximately 9 1/2 “x 3 ½”. If you look closely, on the grass behind the line of spectators is a bicycle-built-for-two laying on the ground.
