The National Police Gazette was a sporting-related tabloid-style magazine promoting "pictures of baseball and other sports" but which often included sensational stories with risque photographs and illustrations.

This full-page image of Giants hopeful Jim Thorpe was a supplement to the May 24, 1913 issue. It boasts sharp edges and corners, with amazing photographic detail. Note the ribbing in his socks, and the raised fabric of the interlocking NY logo on his left sleeve. This offering is clean and beautiful with nothing more than some light wear to the photo itself and some faint staining around the borders. A very desirable scarce offering.
