The Press Illustrating Co. was one of the top organizations that supplied early photographs for publication in newspapers and magazines. They were responsible for producing famous images of baseball players, athletes, and celebrities from the era and this signed letter on company stationary from 1915 is one of the best pieces of memorabilia from the company we have ever seen. Offered here for the first time ever and in great shape overall, this was written during the height of their influence and when they were making images of a rookie Babe Ruth! The autograph is also by Marlen Pew who was the President of the company!
