I doubt it would be exactly 1948 as Ruth died in August of 1948 and that picture was painted after that. I always thought they were made in the 50's. But i don't see where the book says it was from 1948 either. Just the seller. The Brown Bigelow prints would show the older players with young Little Leaguers, but the deceased ones in the clouds.
