1919 Portrait photo of Roger Peckinpaugh from the New York Yankees. Taken by noted photographer Charles Conlon and with his handwritten notes and signature on the back. Photo has some wear but the image is rare and large! Charles Conlon (1886-1945) was America's first sports photojournalist. In the primitive days of photography, he lugged his camera to the ballpark to capture the heroes of the game in their natural setting and paved the way for a new genre of photography. His work encompassed four decades and he became a true master of his craft. His images range from aging 19th century stars through the golden age of the game and most of the iconic baseball photographs of the early 20th century originate from the camera of Conlon. Due to the nature of his employment, images from Conlon are quite rare to find. We are proud to offer for the first time, over 500 fresh to the market images from the master himself, Charles Conlon!
