------------------------------------------------------------------------- This historic composite photo celebrates Babe Ruth as he broke Buck Freeman's single season record of 25 home runs, that he set 20 years earlier in 1899. The slug tells the whole story and is dated 9/9/1919. One other comment regarding this photo, is both images of Babe & Buck are TYPE 3 photos. They were pictures of a picture, developed, pasted side by side, and photographed one more time to create the end result. Extremely rare for the era. I would say that regardless of what TYPE this photo is, the historic content trumps all, and the value wouldn't really be affected. I've re-posted my 1915 Sox Pitchers TYPE 1 photo that was used for the Bambino's image, so you can compare the images of a TYPE 1 & TYPE 3 side by side. 1919babeHRking.jpgBabeREDSOXpitchingSTAFF.jpg 1919babeHRkingSLUG.jpg |
