Original Type I photograph capturing forty-two members of the New York Yankees posing together during spring training in 1931. Included here are team owner Jacob Ruppert, Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Tony Lazzeri, Lefty Gomez, Red Ruffing, Bill Dickey, Herb Pennock, Joe Sewell, and manager Joe McCarthy. "Yankees Team 31" is lettered in white along the base. The photographer's credit, "Thorne," appears in the lower right corner. This photo comes with the special provenance of originating from the personal collection of Joe Sewell and is accompanied by a signed letter of provenance from his son, James Sewell. The photo (13.25x5.25"), which displays exceptional clarity, has been neatly trimmed to its current dimensions and shows evidence of having once been matted and framed. Excellent condition overall. Full LOA from PSA, certifying the photo as Type I Authentic, and letter of provenance from James Sewell.
