Original glass plate negative capturing Lou Gehrig during spring training, circa early 1930s. Gehrig is pictured at bat as he starts his swing during batting practice. The negative (5x4") displays small areas of emulsion loss along the perimeter, scattered oxidation to the central image area, and a strip of tape near the right border in repair of a crack. Please note: the positive image seen on our website is for illustrative purposes only and does not accompany the negative; only the negative is offered in this lot.
