Bob Elliott August 1948 Sportfolio Magazine Cover
Description
A color slide of the cover of the August 1948 edition of Sportfolio magazine featuring Bob Elliott. Elliott, wearing a Boston Braves cap and uniform, has his hands together in front of him and holds two baseball bats over his left shoulder. He is looking to the left of the camera and is pictured from the shoulders up against a dark background. A yellow Jacobs Sports Magazine logo is in the upper left-hand corner of the cover. The magazine’s title, Sportfolio, in large yellow letters trimmed with black, spans the entire width of the top of the cover. The magazine’s tagline, “THE ILLUSTRATED DIGEST OF ALL SPORTS”, appears just below the title, but the word DIGEST is partially obscured by Elliott’s cap. A two-line caption to the right of Elliott’s face reads, “BOB ELLIOTT / OF THE BRAVES” in white text. The titles of two articles are in black text inside a yellow square in the bottom left-hand corner: “THE PEDIGREE OF THE HOT DOG” and “NAT FLEISCHER - BOXING’S BOSWELL”. The price (25c) and date (AUGUST 1948) of the magazine are in the lower right-hand corner, in black text, superimposed on Elliott’s uniform sleeve. A description on the slide reads “Sportfolio 8/48”.
