Mort Künstler – “The National Game” Custom Framed Print 15" x 18"
Product Details
Offered here is a beautifully custom-framed open edition print titled “The National Game” by renowned historical artist Mort Künstler.
This iconic and nostalgic scene captures an early game of baseball played on the grounds of the White House during the Civil War era—reportedly witnessed by President Abraham Lincoln himself. Blending American history with the origins of the nation’s pastime, the composition offers a rare and charming glimpse into a lighter moment during a turbulent time.
Künstler masterfully balances historical detail with warmth and storytelling, creating a scene that is both visually engaging and culturally significant.
