BABE RUTH AT ST. MARY'S
Brother Mathias & Brother Gilbert, 1920s

Spectacular silver gelatin image of Babe Ruth's return to St. Mary's Industrial School during his golden years with the New York Yankees. He is posed with Brother Gilbert and Brother Mathias who actually stands larger than the Babe. They are joined by Benny Bengough who this photograph emanates from. A previously unknown photograph and likely the only specimen known to exist.
Mount is 8x10, photo itself 5x7"; photo NRMT, mount EX+
