Large 1919 photograph of Baseball Hall of Famer Burleigh Grimes in Brooklyn Dodgers uniform. Predating his rookie baseball cards, this is an extremely early image of a tough player to find photographs of from anywhere near his rookie season. Photo has some editorial artwork done in the background to make the photo stand out better for publication and a crease on the upper right corner. Stamped on the back from NEA, it is very likely that this is the only example of this image to have survived!
