Large 1909 action photograph of Hall of Famer Hugh Jennings as he shows off the beginning of his famous "Eeh Yaa" yell to photographer Charles Conlon along the sidelines. A beautiful and bold piece of history in nice shape, the photo is a fantastic piece of history harkening back to the deadball era of the game capturing one of its biggest stars, and taken by its most famous photographer. A work of art by Charles Conlon, the reverse bears his handwritten notes and the clarity is off the charts! This is the photo that was used to make his T206 baseball card and as such is an extreme rarity. There are only a handful of action images used t make T206 cards in the hobby and this is one of the most recognizable! Charles Conlon (1886-1945) was America's first sports photo-journalist. 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 at this time over 400 images from the master himself, Charles Conlon many of which have never been offered to the public before!
