The Art of Football is a singular look at early college football art and illustrations. This collection contains more than two hundred images, many rare or previously unpublished, from a variety of sources, including artists Winslow Homer, Edward Penfield, J. C. Leyendecker, Frederic Remington, Charles Dana Gibson, George Bellows, and many others.
Along with the rich art that captured the essence of football during its early period, Michael Oriard provides a historical context for the images and for football during this period, showing that from the beginning it was perceived more as a test of courage and training in manliness than simply an athletic endeavor. Oriard's analysis shows how these early artists had to work out for themselves--and for readers--what in the new game should be highlighted and how it should appear on the page or canvas. The Art of Football takes modern readers back to the day when players themselves were new to the sport, and illustrators had to show the public what the new game of football was. Oriard demonstrates how artists focused on football's dual nature as a grueling sport to be played and as a social event and spectacle to be watched. Through its illustrations and words The Art of Football gives readers an engaging look at the earliest depictions of the game and the origins of the United States as a football nation.Binding Type: Hardcover

Just perfect.
Style: 3 Tier Cart
This cart is beautiful, solidly built and accurately engineered. The gold color is soft and a bit pearlescent. This is very nice and the smoked glass is attractive. The assembly was easy although it took a minute to find the bolts, they are in the frame pieces and need to be removed. This was great because each screw was perfectly threaded. The entire thing was wrapped in bubble wrap and yards of strong tape. It took just as long to unwrap it as it took to build it. A few supports were bent, but were easily fixed with pliers. The finished cart moves smoothly on unobtrusive casters and the shelves don’t rattle because they’re supported by suction cups inserted into the frame. This is a substantial piece and will be very serviceable for entertaining.

Very Sturdy and attractive bar cart.
Style: Square Carts
I am very impressed with the quality of this bar cart. I purchased it for the appearance/styling of it. I looked at 20 - 30 bar carts and this one was the best fit to compliment my kitchen decor. I wasn't expecting the metal to be strong & sturdy, but it was. From the amazon photo, the metal frame looked lightweight and hollow. I also could not tell by the amazon photo if the gold matte finish would look cheap or elegant. I was very pleased with the finish. It was not the shiny brass type finish that I do not like. It was easy to assemble. A friendly F.Y.I. I spent a little bit of time looking for the assembly screws, expecting them to be in the bag with the wheels. They were screwed into the frame pieces which I think is a great idea when packing an item. It 's a good way of knowing that all the screws were sent and that they fit. I will note that because of the solidness of the frame, the delivered package might be a bit heavy for some. Also I found that using a drill on low speed with a star bit made the installation go very quickly.

Nice bar cart, Inaccurate shelf heights
Style: 3 Tier Cart, Style: 3 Tier Cart
Bar cart is nice, quite easy to put together. One of the most upsetting things is that the advertised/pictured 2nd shelf height is very wrong. It’s quoted at 18.1” tall but in reality it’s only 12.5”, the same as the bottom shelf - as confirmed in other reviewers photos. So half of my bottles have to go on the very top shelf. I reached out to the manufacturer about max shelf weight but they refused to give me an answer. I have about 30lbs+ on each shelf with the slightest bow in the center as there is only shelf support on the very ends.
