1913 Portrait photo of Brooklyn Dodgers young infielder George Cutshaw. A fine player for 12 seasons, this was taken during his second year in the big leagues. The Dodgers only wore this jersey in 1913 so the date is guaranteed. There is some cool background painting done for publication by Baseball Magazine which could be removed, but the important markings from photographer Charles Conlon on the back are bold and clean. The best image of Cutshaw we have ever seen! 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!
