Original c. 1927 detailed portrait photograph of slugger Jimmie Foxx from the Philadelphia Athletics and taken early in his career. This photo is almost certainly to be the work of Charles Conlon as it was issued by Underwood and Underwood (for whom Conlon did work at this time) and the style is exactly like the portraits he did of Ruth and Gehrig from the exact time period. More research is needed, but we feel confident that ultimately this will be attributed to Conlon. Contrast and quality are outstanding with a crease on the bottom left corner, this is one of his finer images you will ever see!
