Above is an fantastic 1910's advertising poster for Fatima Turkish brand Cigarettes that features action photos from an opening series match-up between the Brooklyn Superbas (Dodgers) and New York Giants. It is currently on auction at Mile High Card Company. (Auction Link)
Unfortunately, the poster mainly points out popular Giants players like Fred Snodgrass, George Burns and Fred Merkle. So it's likely this ad was prominently displayed in neighborhoods loyal to that team. Nevertheless, it's a unique piece that includes several rare photographs.
