Large 1913 photograph of young Hall of Famer Eddie Collins in full uniform. One of his most famous images ever taken, this was used for his Sporting News postcard and numerous other publications as well. This is an artistically enhanced example for publication that has also been laminated. We are not sure if the process can be removed but the result would be his finest photo to hit the market! Taken by photographer Charles Conlon and stamped on the back with his handwritten notes as well. 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!
