Large action photograph of Detroit tigers early deadball era star Tom Jones in full uniform. He began his career in 1902 and captured here in his final season in big leagues, this is one of the earlier images by Charles Conlon that you will ever find. Taken by photographer Charles Conlon and with his handwritten notes on the back, this is a museum quality piece of early baseball art! 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!
