That's a much reproduced photograph, off hand I know it occupies a double page spread in the Ken Burns "Baseball" book and is quite striking for its sharp detail. I'm doing research for a book on Negro League uniforms and that photo was a great help in establishing the ones worn by the NNL in '39. Can't add anything to authentic or not arguement except tread wary, it's probably the most widely reprinted East-West photo out there.
