1927 Portrait photo of Ray Kremer the ace of the Pittsburgh Pirates from during their famous World Series with the Yankees. He led the league in ERA in 1927 for the second consecutive season and finished 19-8! Taken by photographer Charles Conlon and signed on the back with his handwritten notes as well, this is a spectacular 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!
