Vintage composite photo is Lou Gehrig's high school class of 1921. It is well known that long before he would be dubbed the New York Yankees "Iron Horse", Gehrig had earned the nickname, "Babe Ruth of the High Schools" for his remarkable grand slam blast at Wrigley Field that won his team the championship. In the fourth row from the bottom and 4 classmates in sits a blossoming Lou Gehrig, listed as "H. Gehrig." The photo, matted to 13x10.5" is severed along a few different creases, none of which affect the area on and around Gehrig. Framed to 21x13".
