Offered is an exceedingly rare 19th Century team cabinet card of the New Orleans Pelicans from their inaugural season. The team was founded in 1887 and became part of the Southern Association in 1901 and remained a part of the association until it folded in 1961. The 4-1/4" x 6-1/2" cabinet shows minor wear at corners and surface spot staining on the reverse. The "Souby logo and "118 Canal Street, NEW ORLEANS" address stamp is on the bottom of the card mount. This beautiful and so very rare collectible is from a league where very little remains available.
