1905 Photograph of young New York Giants player/manager John McGraw on the eve of the World Series against the Red Sox as he poses with Heavyweight Champion of the World James J. Corbett at the ballpark. While this is a re-strike, it is an extremely early example that dates to about 1915 based on the silver gelatin photography and paper used. This is the only vintage example of this photo we have ever seen and the condition is fantastic!
