Large 1927 portrait photograph of the great Babe Ruth of the New York Yankees. One of the clearest and most concise portraits ever taken of Ruth, you can see every wrinkle and imperfection on his aging face as he seems to exuding confidence, contemplating his record setting season. Issued by Underwood and Underwood and from their archives, this is one of only examples of this image known to exist and it presents beautifully with two embossed stamps from the Underwood archive. One of Ruth's greatest portraits we have ever seen and the first of this example we have handled, this is a perfect 10/10 that is encapsulated by PSA as a Type 1!
