1914 Photograph of Milton Stock in uniform that was taken by photographer Charles Conlon and signed on the back with his handwritten notes as well. While the uniform appears to be the giants from the previous year (1914) the photo was issued by Conlon in 1915 with the team change in his hand of "Phil Natl". A beautiful image in nice shape and with some cool artistic painting done for publication. 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!
