1922 Action photograph of bespectacled pitcher from the New York Giants, Carmen Hill in full uniform. A tough player to find quality images of, this is from Charles Conlon and is easily among his finest ever offered! Condition is quite nice with pinholes at the corners being the only real flaws. 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!
