Original 1948 example of the famed Pulitzer Prize winning photograph "The Babe Bows Out" by Nat Fein showing the great Babe Ruth as he takes a curtain call at Yankee Stadium shortly before his death. While this is a wire photo example, it dates to about 1948 making it a period piece and as such is very rare. One of the few vintage examples we have ever seen in any form and despite being slightly trimmed, it displays beautifully.
