1927 American League batting champ Harry Heilmann graces this stunning piece of 1920s advertising art. Heilmann hit a majestic .398 in 1927, making him a natural fit for Lucky Strike’s 1928 ad campaign featuring the best athletes of the day. The AL’s batting champ is shown taking a mighty cut in front of the Lucky Strike bullseye logo. While this piece features a deep stadium green background, Heilmann’s likeness was also used in Lucky Strike’s larger advertising panels which used a golden yellow backdrop. Measuring 10”x20”, the piece shows only light wear and toning from age. Professionally matted and framed, the colors on this piece are vibrant and bright, making this a museum-worthy example of American advertising art.
