Babe Ruth Large Format Photograph by Nat Fein c.1947 (PSA/DNA Type I)

Striking original large format image as taken by noted New York Herald and Pulitzer Prize winning photographer Nat Fein. Photo presents in a matte finish picturing Babe Ruth seated in the dugout with the New York Yankees bat boy on April 27, 1947. Clarity is exceptional with Ruth clearly displaying the effects of his throat cancer while ironically seated and smoking a cigar. Signed in pencil with date "1947:" by Fein at lower margin. Matted and framed. Includes LOA from PSA/DNA (Type I) and original copy of May 1947 Life Magazine with offered photograph published within: NM
