This is a fabulous 8x10" image of the great Joe Sewell at his peak. From the 1920 World Championship season, he is wearing the armband dedicated to the fallen Ray Chapman. The photo displays tremendous character and facial detail with him fluidly throwing across his compact but powerful body. Has a couple of minor border issues but perfect contrast and clear as a bell image, measuring 8.5x6.5". From the archives of "Baseball Magazine," and from the Christie's Auction of the groundbreaking publication. Comes with second matching Conlon of Red Sox pitcher Ivy Paul Andrews and both have holograms on the backs as well as the signatures and handwriting of Charles M. Conlon.
