    Description

    Thank you for viewing our listing. We appreciate your time.
    For your consideration, we are pleased to offer you a vintage ink blotter.
    In 1948, Jackie Robinson began his second season as a major league baseball player.
    That year, shortly before Robinson and the Brooklyn Dodgers arrived in town, Cincinnati mayor Albert Cash organized the "Friendly Relations Committee (FRC)."
    Mayor Cash tasked the FRC with creating posters promoting racial and religious harmony.
    When Robinson arrived in Cincinnati, Mayor Cash arranged for him to be photographed with Jewish Reds player Danny Litwhiler as they contemplated one of the FRC's posters.
    This blotter's artwork is based on the FRC poster Robinson was photographed with.
    Note:
    The blotter in this listing
    was not
    associated with Jackie Robinson. The preceding information refers to the
    original
    poster on which this blotter's artwork is based.
    Blotter text states:
    "
    What's his race or religion got to do with it-HE CAN PITCH! - Fight For Racial and Religious Understanding
    ."
