Original glass plate negative of Babe Ruth taken by renowned baseball photographer Charles Conlon. The image pictures Ruth in uniform at Yankee Stadium as he poses on the steps of the dugout in 1933. Ruth's name and team affiliation, "Babe Ruth (Yanks)," is written in Conlon's hand along the top border of the negative, as is the year, "33." Negatives, unlike photos, of which there can be countless Type I examples, are unique. There is only one, and it was in the camera on the field with the photographer and his subject. Conlon was based in New York, so he had ample opportunity to capture Ruth on film, with all of those images now considered classics. The negative (4x5") remains in Excellent condition overall. 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.
