Original Type I photograph capturing Babe Ruth at home celebrating his 40th birthday with his family in 1934. Ruth is pictured cutting into his birthday cake as his wife Claire and daughters Julia and Dorothy look on. An "International News Pictures Inc." credit stamp appears on the reverse, along with the original paper news caption, dated "2-5-34." This photo was actually taken a few days prior to Ruth's birthday on February 7th, as noted by the caption date and the special instruction on the caption that reads "Editor's Note - hold for release Wednesday, February 7, the Babe's birthday." The photo (8.5x6.5") displays minor edge wear and corner wear; otherwise, it remains in Excellent to Mint condition. PSA encapsulated as Type I Authentic.
