Original 1924 action photo of early Jewish baseball star Sammy Bohne at the ballpark. A clear and bold image from photographer Charles Conlon which is stamped on the back and carries his iconic handwriting on the back as well. Photo is a perfect 10/10 and it is the finest image of Bohne that we have ever seen! An incredible image of a desirable early player. 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.
