Incredible photograph dating to October 12, 1912 showing photographers on the rooftop of the Polo Grounds during the World Series and trying to get the perfect aerial shots. With no safety harnesses or railings, these guys were taking their lives into their own hands but the result is an amazing photograph. Rarely are the photographers themselves the subjects of images and this is one of the best we have ever seen. Offered here for the first time ever from the archives of Underwood and Underwood!
