Of these two Chicago Cubs team photos, the later one is from 1937 featuring an amazing pristine image with highest resolution and clarity, measuring 10.5x13.5" and includes everybody - even the Bat Boy. Pictures celebrated players Gabby Harnett, Billy Herman, and Charlie Root. This oversized photo is by one of the best sports photographers in the history of baseball, George Burke. Writing is white consistent with printing from the original negative. Condition of this super photo is NRMT. The other team photo is from five years earlier and shows the famed "Called Shot" team and is by Kaufman. This one measures 8x12.5" with some tears and creasing.
