Description: Rare Ty Cobb photograph by Charles Conlon c.1910. Striking 7 1/4"x9 1/2" sepia tone image of Cobb in full swing with outfield wall advertising providing a pleasing backdrop.

Conlon loved the game and it showed in his art as he so vividly expressed in this quote from 1913, "The game which seems to breathe the restless spirit of American Life, that calls for quick action and quicker thinking, that seems characteristic of a great nation itself, is baseball." Superb early original Conlon image of his most famed subject: EX
