Original vintage black-and-white silver gelatin photograph capturing a celebration portrait of a championship baseball team from Puerto Rico, dated 1950. The group portrait captures thirteen players and coaching staff posing proudly on the field. One player holds up a championship felt pennant reading "CONDADO", while the word "Campeones" (Champions) is handwritten in elegant vintage cursive script across the top center margin of the image. The upper-left corner also displays an original photographer's signature or studio attribution ending in "Foto". The reverse of the photograph contains a matching handwritten description in blue ink that states: "(Este es el Club) 'Condado' 1950", confirming the team identity and the historic mid-century date of the snapshot.Condado is a historic and prominent oceanfront district located in Santurce, San Juan, Puerto Rico. During the golden age of Caribbean and Puerto Rican baseball in the mid-20th century, regional leagues and neighborhood athletic clubs fiercely contested amateur and semi-professional series. This team likely represented a standout local club or regional powerhouse based out of San Juan's legendary coastal sector. The photograph is preserved in its authentic, completely raw vintage state. It displays a wonderfully rich sepia-toned patina along with minor edge wear, rounded corners, creasing, and historic handling blemishes (including a minor damp stain on the lower reverse) that perfectly underscores its decades-old regional sports provenance. Medium: Original vintage silver gelatin photograph Provenance: From the inventories of Artelisted. Note on Dimensions: The photo dimensions are Approx. 5" x 7". Some minor size variances can occur.
