1920 Portrait photograph of young Cleveland Indians shortstop Harry Lunte in uniform. He played in 1919 but was thrust into greater action in 1920 with the death of Ray Chapman. Never a good hitter, he was a slick fielder who earned himself a World Series ring in 1920 with the Indians. A perfect 10/10 from Charles Conlon that is his greatest image ever taken! 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!
