Lot 273: Walter Johnson Batting by Charles Conlon
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||
This riveting, rarely seen snap of Walter Johnson in an unfamiliar pose -- bat in hands, awaiting a pitch instead of uncorking one -- is yet one more evocative Conlon '20s photo that bears Thompson's copyright stamp and Charles Colon's handwriting on the back. Sharp enough to see every crease on his uniform and count the eyelets of his spikes. Thompson "For Your Use Only" stamp is purple, beneath Conlon's penciling in of Johnson's name. Photo 5 x 7" and EX+.
