1948 Photograph of Babe Ruth as he appeared in Yankee pinstripes for the last time ever and spent a moment in the locker room getting ready to appear before a sell-out crowd at Yankee Stadium. A few moments later the iconic photo of him leaning on a bat and waving to his fans would be snapped, winning the Pulitzer Prize for photographer Nat Fein! While this is a photograph that is often found reproduced in the 1970's and 1980's, this is clearly a vintage image that dates to the original release as the paper and photo process used are consistent with c. 1950 images. Despite some handling wear from age and news-room usage, this is a beautiful specimen, perhaps the finest of this image in the world!
