Babe was pretty emaciated towards the end of his life, so I highly doubt the picture is from 1948. If it was any earlier than that, Ferrell would've still been an active player, so why would he have been in this photo with the all-time greats, especially since he is a "borderline" HOFer as it is.

Not to mention that Johnson, I believe, was the first one to pass from this group. Ferrell would have had to been playing. This picture had to be taken before 1946.
