Detailed portrait photograph of superstar outfielder Larry Gardner from the Cleveland Indians. One of the top players from the Red Sox dynasty of the early 1910's he took his talents to Cleveland where he would win his fourth and final World Series in 1920. Taken by Charles Conlon and stamped on the back, this is a fine image from one of the most underrated players of his era. Condition and quality make this a perfect 10/10! 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!
