Large 8" x 10" original news service photo of outfielder Bobby Roth (often referred to as Braggo Roth) of the New York Yankees. This photo served as the source image for Roth's D383 1921 Koester Bread card, a 40-card set that resembled the W575-1 blank-back issue but only featured players from the New York Giants and New York Yankees. Attractive sepia toned photo includes Roth's name and position applied in red towards the lower-left corner, likely in preparation for use by a publication. Large credit stamping from International has been applied to verso (they were a frequent supplier of card images during this era) and a few handwritten notations are present. Guaranteed Type 1.
