Amazing photograph that has never before been seen. This unpublished image shows the Black Sox joined by the jurors that set them free following the trial. Indicative of the entire episode (they were set free when the confessions were “lost”) the jurors seem more like fans than valances of justice. Shown in this smiling crowd are the players including: Shoeless Joe Jackson, Buck Weaver, and Swede Risberg. There is minor damage where publishing marks have been removed to the borders and where the players and some jurors and court officers were numbered. 11 x 8”. Small tear o/w EX.
