Extremely rare and early 1921 image of the great Jim Thorpe playing for the Cleveland Indians. Photo has been cut and adhered to board to make a wonderful piece of early newspaper production art with background painting done to make the image stand out. Stamped on the back (file mark) from 1931 but this is when the image was cut and the artwork done, not when the photo was taken and issued which was 1921. One of Thorpe's most famous early NFL photos and one of the few originals that exist.
