1920 Portrait photograph of the biggest star in baseball Babe Ruth as he poses on the top of the dugout steps in full uniform. The style and quality of this image attribute it to the great Charles Conlon, but more research is needed. The offered example is a re-strike from the late 1940's and we have called it a c. 1950 example. Clean and bold, the photograph presents well and could pass as an original 1920 example at first glance. One of his greatest images ever taken!
