<B>Circa 1905 Al Bridwell Studio Portrait Photograph by Joseph Hall.</B></I> The most collectible baseball photographer of the nineteenth century, Hall was responsible for many of the images utilitzed in the famous Old Judge trading card issues. This fine photographic portrait, dating to the early years of the twentieth century, likewise found a home in packs of tobacco, reproduced for the T206 Al Bridwell No Cap card. The offered specimen finds the young infielder captured in razor-sharp sepia tones, with the image affixed to a "Hall's Studio" mount that measures 4.5x6.5" in size. Condition is spectacular, with minor wear at the corners the only issue of note. Identifying pencil writing is found on verso, as well as stamping for "The Ring, Inc.," tracing this piece back to the archives of the famous boxing magazine.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
