1935 Type I photo of Babe Ruth signing autographs for youngsters during the final spring training of his career. Ruth was always generous with his time when it came to kids, who of course revered the Babe as an inspiration and larger-than-life heroic figure. Endearing 7" x 9" original news service photo is a terrific shot of the Bambino as he's swarmed by autograph-seeking youth in St. Petersburg, FL. Excellent overall condition with an obvious small crease to the upper-left corner. Emulsion surface appears clean with some degree of toning to left side and top edge of verso. Credit stamping from the associated press has been applied to verso below original paper caption, dated to 3/22/35, that remains affixed. Additional date stamping of 3/25/35 has also been applied. Authenticated as a Type I photo by PSA/DNA and their full LOA is included.
