A fresh-faced Jim Brown poses for official Cleveland Browns photographer Henry M. Barr in this original 8" x 10" news service photo. Part of a series of images Barr captured of the much-heralded rookie All-American while the team trained at Hiram College in OH prior to the 1957 season. Significantly, one image from Barr's shoots with Jim Brown served as the source material for the future Hall of Famer's 1958 Topps Football #62 rookie card. Photo remains in impeccable overall condition with bright white borders and bold contrast with Brown captured at a low angle, emphasizing the fullback's famed size and power. Verso remains blank aside from Henry M. Barr's credit stamping alongside credit stamping from the Cleveland Browns. Authenticated and encapsulated as a Type 1 photo by PSA/DNA.
