While not the first, George Grantham Bain was the most prolific early stock photographer that supplied images to newspapers and periodicals. Starting in the 1890's in New York, he dominated the industry during the first two decades of the 20th century taking some of the most desirable and beautiful baseball photographs of the era. The offered item captures the man himself, George Grantham Bain and pictures him working at his desk. The photo is in nice shape and appears to be a 1920's example.
