From the back cover:
Feel the power of the Green Wave once more with these classic images from vintage Tulane gameday football program covers. Return each day to where Willow Street meets Calhoun, where the Wave enjoyed nearly half a century as a southern powerhouse, racking up four undefeated seasons (plus ten with only one loss) and appearances in both the Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl. Each archival quality reproduction is printed on 100% recycled paper using soy-based inks, and is easily removable to fit any standard 11"x14" frame, so you can enjoy your favorite images long after the season ends. “A one, a two, a helluva hullabaloo!” About the Images
The images featured in this calendar are archival-quality reproductions of the covers of the actual souvenir game programs that were sold at the games many decades ago. In some cases the images have been digitally repaired and restored where creases, tears, marks, or other damage would have otherwise distracted from the appreciation of the artwork as it appeared at that time. Some images have been cropped and/or resized to fit this format. The Golden Age: 1920s - 1960s
The period from the 1920s-1960s is considered by many collectors to be the Golden Age of college football program cover art. Talented men and women created sublime, provocative and often whimsical works of art for any given Saturday—using oil on canvas, watercolor, pastels, and pen and ink. Editor's note: Some of the most memorable images were created by staff artists and syndicated by advertising companies as stock art, which schools then customized by overprinting their specific game information in black. Think you are seeing double? Rest assured, ALL of the images featured in our calendars are faithful reproductions of the actual physical programs that were sold at each school on gameday during this unforgettable era.Collector's Series
This calendar is part of a collector's series featuring archival-quality reproductions of home and away game souvenir programs. Each year brings 12 different cover reproductions from actual programs that were sold at the stadiums during the early 1900s to the 1960s. We will be introducing other products featuring some of the most popular images; however, this unique format of 11"x14" frame-ready prints will almost always feature different, authentic cover images each year. Officially Licensed
This is an officially licensed product. Part of the proceeds of each sale goes back to the school.
