1928 Large photograph of the new Christy Mathewson memorial that had just been unveiled at the Polo Grounds for the fallen baseball hero. A touching photograph that shows the love and admiration for the man who had not played for a decade and had died three years earlier but was still one of the most beloved figures in the game! Issued by the Associated Press and stamped on the back with most of the original paper caption still present, this presents well with some chipping and edge wear from news-room use.
