Great photos of Ted Williams and his marvelous swing, four (4) photographs taken by George Burke circa 1939. The Splendid Splinter was an immediate star with the Boston Red Sox in his rookie year, 1939. The 20-year-old hit .327, with 31 home runs and 145 RBI. Type II photographs, likely printed by George Brace. Each has "Ted Williams" handwritten, likely in Burke's hand. Four photos from the Play Ball photo shoot. Wonderful shots showing various phases of Williams' classic swing. One of the images is nearly identical, but it is not the Play Ball image. Left side labeled "3686, A1." Measures 5x7" each, with black borders. VG-EX with minor edge wear and no creases.
