1911 Action photograph of Honus Wagner from the Pittsburgh Pirates at bat and taking a pitch. Actual action photographs from the era (as opposed to posed action shots) are extremely rare and this is one of the only examples showing Wagner actually in the batters box that we have ever seen. The condition is fantastic and despite being a slight restrike from about 1930, the image looks and feels like a 1911 original. Issued by the Keystone View Company and stamped on the back.
