1948 Poignant and important photograph of Mrs. Babe Ruth and her daughter paying their respects to the man in their life, Babe Ruth, at his funeral. Paused in front of his coffin, this is a powerful work of art that is the last instance that Babe Ruth was visible to the world. Issued by Keystone with their older stamp (weird combo) and stamped on the back with a nice paper caption. Photo presents beautifully.
