Wonderful posed original, from-the-camera, one of a kind, glass plate negative portrays Walter Johnson from the waist up in Washington uniform. Displaying beautiful clarity and crispness, this 7x5" image dates from the 1910s and was snapped by a photographer from Brown Brothers, as this is part of their extensive selection. Starting in 1910, The Big Train compiled nine consecutive seasons of 23 or more victories, and his 110 career shutouts remains easily the highest total of all time.
