Significant 1947 Brooklyn Dodgers team photo combines several historic elements in one shot. Not only did those Dodgers win the National League pennant, but this is the first Major League team photo with Jackie Robinson, just months after breaking baseball's color barrier. Also of significance, Robinson is not the only player of color in the photo, as oft-forgotten Dan Bankhead is present, having joined the squad just months after Jackie to become the first Black pitcher in league history. Some corner creasing on this 10x8" image, verso has pencil notations and stamps from Brown Brothers, as this is from their famed sports archive.
