Description: Superb Roy Campanella autographed photograph c.1948-49. Striking 8"x10" matted and framed black and white portrait of Roy in Dodgers uniform taken by photographer Cecil Layne. Layne was a highly regarded African-American photographer who did a great deal of work for the NAACP including a famous posed image of the Little Rock Nine with Daisy Bates which is now housed in the Library of Congress. Image is boldly signed, "Best Wishes Roy Campanella" rating 9 out of 10. Photo itself is very clean with only some minor surface wrinkling. With regard to scarcity of pre-accident Campanella signed images and given the condition, photographic quality, and size of the offered image it would have to be considered among the finest Campanella signed photos extant. Includes LOA from PSA/DNA J.Spence-S.Grad: NM
