1916 Crystal clear portrait photograph of baseball Hall of Famer Christy Mathewson from the New York Giants and posing at the ballpark in full uniform. Recently pulled from the archives of Underwood and Underwood and with handwritten notes from the photographer on the back, this is being offered here for the first time ever. Condition and quality make this a perfect 10/10. Photo is absolutely genuine to the 1910's and is the only example known to exist! The handwritten note on the back is from the original photographer and the number at the top references the negative and it comes with a paper label that has fallen off but was once added to the back after Underwood switched offices in the early 1920's cementing the age of the print. There is also an original envelope that the images were pulled from shown for reference!
