Framed Vintage Photograph of Los Angeles Dodgers Players

This item is a framed vintage-style photograph featuring a group of seven baseball players, presumably from the Los Angeles Dodgers, depicted in a unified pose. The photograph exhibits a sepia tone, suggesting an older origin or a stylistic choice to evoke a historical feel. The players are all wearing baseball uniforms with 'Dodgers' visibly emblazoned across the chest as well as player numbers (e.g., '1' and '74' are somewhat discernible on the rightmost players). Many of the players are holding baseball gloves. The image appears to be a print, possibly a reproduction, given its generally good condition without significant visible creases or tears that might be expected from an original photograph of considerable age. It is housed in a simple, rectangular wooden frame with a medium-brown finish and a visible wood grain pattern, likely oak or a similar hard wood. The frame has a classic, slightly ornate profile with a raised inner edge and a flat outer edge. The overall size of the framed piece appears to be approximately 18 to 24 inches in width, based on its relation to the floor and objects around it. There are no clear manufacturer's marks or signatures visible on the photograph itself or the frame from the provided image. The image evokes a mid-20th century aesthetic, likely dating from the 1950s or 1960s based on the style of uniforms and the sepia processing. The condition of the photo within the frame seems good, protected behind what appears to be glass or acrylic, exhibiting minimal signs of damage or wear to the image itself. The frame shows some minor surface wear consistent with age and handling, but no major chips or breaks are apparent. The quality of the print appears decent, with good contrast for a sepia image.
