Outstanding Type 1 photo of the scene in St. Petersburg, FL during Babe Ruth's long-awaited arrival at spring training with his new team, the Boston Braves. As he exits a car, Ruth is mobbed by throngs of fans all hoping just to catch a glimpse of the Babe – a testament to Ruth's immense popularity even at the twilight of his career. This is an appealing 7" x 9" sepia toned photo with typical light handling wear largely confined to a crease in the lower-left corner. A full paper caption has been affixed to verso, dated to 03/05/1935, with Acme credit stamping underneath. Credit stamping from NEA has also been applied, with a date stamp of 03/08/1935. Guaranteed to return as Type 1 if submitted to PSA/DNA for authentication.
