1947 Artistic photograph of four members of the Brooklyn Dodgers in uniform and artfully posed to spell out the year "1947" for a photographer. While Jackie Robinson is not in the picture, the photo represents the most important year in baseball history with the Dodgers breaking the color barrier and Jackie Robinson was reporting to the team at the exact day this image was taken (March 12, 1947) making this an incredibly important and symbolic piece of baseball history! Issued by Acme and with a full paper caption on the back. A work of art that could be hanging in a museum or gallery! It is important to note that the image does capture Hall of Famers Pee Wee Reese and Arky Vaughan as well as Butch Hoyt and Pete Reiser.
