Collection of six glass plate duplicate negatives, each picturing Babe Ruth posing either alone or with others. All picture Ruth out of uniform and appear to date from the late 1930s. Three of the negatives capture Ruth with his wife Claire, including two where they are posing with another couple. Another captures Ruth and his wife at a banquet table. The negative picturing Ruth alone displays a horizontal strip of black tape above Ruth's image and significant emulsion loss and bubbling along the bottom portion. The remaining negatives display minor emulsion loss along the perimeter. Each negative measures 5x4 inches. Please note: the positive images seen on our website are for illustrative purposes only and do not accompany the negatives; only the negatives are offered in this lot.
