Stunning original panoramic photo from Old-Timers Day at Fenway Park, July 12, 1939. This image is chock full of both legendary names and obscure ball players from the Deadball Era and 1920's. Each player depicted has been numbered and identified with white lettering at bottom edge of the image and Hall of Famers include: Grover Cleveland Alexander, Home Run Baker, Chief Bender, Eddie Collins Harry Hooper, Walter Johnson, High Pockets Kelly, Kid Nichols, Tris Speaker, Ed Walsh, and Cy Young. Image quality of this photo is superb overall with some emulsion cracking running vertically, consistent with a photo such as this being flattened after long term storage in a tube. A photo credit from Fay Foto Service appears along the right edge. Framed dimensions of 11.5" x 28" overall.
