Large 1915 portrait photograph of deadball era star and new manager of the Philadelphia Phillies, Pat Moran in full uniform. All he did his first year with the club was lead the perennial losers to the World Series! Not content with just making it to the big show, he followed this up by leading the Cincinnati Reds to the World Series title over the Black Sox in 1919! The offered image is a clear and bold original from photographer Charles Conlon and this is his most famous photograph ever taken with this being the only original we have ever seen. Large and clear, the photo presents extremely well with a little chipping on the upper right. Charles Conlon (1886-1945) was America's first sports photojournalist. 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!
