Fantastic top quality 11x14“ modern prints made from the original negatives of the great George Burke. These ten images are among the finest Burke ever took. Includes: Gehrig and DiMaggio with NYC Mayor LaGuardia, rookie Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams with the Minneapolis Millers, Satchel Paige with Cleveland, Willie Mays wearing 1951 patch (rookie), Sandy Koufax rookie (looks like his Bar Mitzvah photo), Honus Wagner as a coach, one of the most famous photos ever taken of Lou Gehrig, Jackie Robinson rookie and a full color Roberto Clemente (resin stock). These are all signed by George Brace’s (Burke’s partner) daughter Mary on the verso and brilliantly stamped from the Brace Collection. Prints of this quality are rarely, if ever, made. EX-MT.
