Lot 317: 1933 Jimmie Foxx Wire Photograph
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
You'd be grinning too if you were on your way to a 48 home run, 163 RBI season, as Jimmie Foxx was in this 1933 International News Photo. Light, posed moment on 6.5x8.5' has telling details: the heavy activity on his bat, the shreds where Foxx cut off the sleeves of his A's jersey to display his muscles, and the dimples of a man happy to be playing a kids' game. Editor's notes for "Police Gazette," delivery date stamp and International News Photos eagles logo on the back. Overall EX-MT.
