Highly detailed original portrait photo of St. Louis Cardinals outfielder, Al Burch. This portrait is the work of none other than the Deadball Era's most prolific studio photographer, Carl J. Horner. Horner's work appears throughout baseball card issues and publications of his day, most famously across the entirety of both the T206 and T204 Ramly sets. The offered specimen displays a large number "15" in the upper-right corner, indicating this photo was likely part of a large grouping of photos used to create a composite team image. Creasing is visible to both lower corners and the rough paper backing leads us to believe photo has likely been peeled from a mount. Measures 3.25" x 3.5".
