Phenomenal portrait photograph of George Herman "Babe" Ruth in 1935; one of three such portraits in this current auction forming an intimate photo study of the Bambino. A photographer from the International News photo service has captured Ruth in his final season, having signed with the Boston Braves on February 28, 1935 after 21 illustrious campaigns with both the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees. All three photos in the series are fresh to the hobby examples of the highest quality and boast brilliant image clarity and fantastic overall condition. While each stands on it's own as a striking portrait of Ruth, together they provide a unique perspective on The Sultan of Swat in a way that no single photograph could ever hope to. Original photo studies such as this are uncommon in the world of collecting vintage baseball press photography and opportunities to secure multiple, related photos, in a single auction rarely present themselves. Measures 6.5" x 8.5" with large credit stamping from International on verso. Authenticated and encapsulated as a Type I photo by PSA/DNA.
