Title: [Baseball game] / Zim.
Creator(s): Zimmerman, Eugene, 1862-1935, artist
Date Created/Published: 1895 June 11
Summary: Single panel cartoon shows rustics playing baseball. In the panoramic scene, one player misses the ball, another is hit by it, and runners head for second base and home, while a dog, a duck, and a chicken enliven the proceedings. In the background, a scattering of fans watch, and refreshments are hawked: 'Hard cider' and 'W.C.T.U. Fresh Milk, 2 [cents] a Glass.' Zimmerman's exaggerated cartoon drawings featuring various ethnic and social groups appeared in the humor magazines Puck and Judge in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
