Collection of seven 6.5" x 8.5" Wide World news service photos featuring members of the first great Yankees dynasty. Though the 1921-22 squads were pennant winners, they would go on to lose both World Series to the Giants, ultimately defeating them in the 1923 iteration of the Fall Classic on the back of Babe Ruth's three home runs and a triple. Verso of all photos include handwritten identifications of each player and six of the seven include Wide World Photos stamping. Whitey Witt's photo does not include stamping on verso but is consistent with the rest. Photos included: Bullet Joe Bush, Al Devormer (2), Mike McNally, Camp Skinner, Aaron Ward, Whitey Witt. These photos are fresh to the hobby and originate from the archives of Photo File, Inc. where they have been stored for several decades until this offering.
