Product Details

This vintage 1925 framed art print, titled "Playing the Game," features an inspirational poem by J.B. Downie published by the iconic Buzza Company. The print is beautifully illustrated by artist Mettel, depicting Christopher Columbus's ship, the Santa Maria, sailing across rolling ocean waves beneath soaring seagulls. The text uses an elegant, illuminated manuscript style with distinct metallic gold leaf accents surrounding the poem. The piece remains housed in its original gold-trimmed wood frame with the authentic period cardboard backing and hanging loop fully intact. The print is framed in a gilt tri-tone pressed wood picture frame and the glass is still intact. For size reference, the frame is about 10 3/4 inches wide.
