Great image of Harding at a ball game, but the best thing is his son’s cap. Likely an early 1920s Opening Day game between the Yankees and Washington (1921?). Cap is nicely in-painted to emphasize the “Babe Ruth.” EX-MT. Great stampings on back including this Washington photographer. 9x7”.

This lot is from the legendary San Francisco Examiner Archive (SFXArchive).
This is one largest collections ever of historic vintage photos spanning the entire 20th century. The San Francisco Examiner was the first paper acquired by William Randolph Hearst and itself was the subject of the film classic Citizen Kane. The majority of the photographs are fully identified, and back-stamped with dates. Included throughout this auction is a diverse mix of subjects including sports, historical, political, transportation, Hollywood, and all facets of entertainment.
