If a player today busted into the big leagues and had a career that lasted six great seasons and retired with a .309 average, they would be a star. In the case of Lance Richbourg, you would be someone that nobody has ever heard of. A really good hitter for some bad teams, he would bat .337 in 1928 and be a top candidate for MVP! A rare player to find quality images of, this one was taken by photographer Charles Conlon and stamped on the back with his handwritten notes as well. his finest image that exists if we are giving the opinion! 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!
