Scott - I was the consignor on that Vander Meer picture, glad to see it wound up in good hands.

Richard,
Thanks for offering it up. I haven't seen this particular image before, so I'm glad to add it to my personal collection.

Mike, why would you be embarrassed to post something so awesome?? It's most likely my new favorite image of Klein, and in my eyes, would make an AWESOME painting. Just sayin' - you did well.

Graig,
You beat me to it.

I don't think Mike has anything to be embarrassed by. That is a fantastic Klein.

Mike,
Does it say who the photographer was?
It is a very striking portrait.

My first thought about it was that it would make a great painting in Kreindlercolor.

Congrats to all so far. Anyone else get anything?

It does not have any such stamping which is likely why it was in my price range. The style seems to be consistent with a Burke image. It looks similar to the 1939 Klein play ball image. I believe Burke was commissioned to do that set.

It is certainly posed like a Burke, and George Burke did provide the images for the 1939 Play Ball card series, but in my experience it would be unusual to find a period Burke photo without his stamping on the back.

Not impossible I suppose, but that's just been my experience. Either way though, it is a great shot of Klein, and well worth owning and showing off. Congrats!

Mike,
I was going to add in my previous comment that it looks like a Burke, but forgot.
I think there is a pretty good chance as it really does fit his usual style. I will defer to Lance on the back stamping habits though, so I could be wrong.

Nonetheless, it is a great pic of a great player. Congrats.

It would be unusual not to have at least some form of burke stamping whether it by the actual studio stamp, player name format or file number..but like lance said, not impossible. It certainly happens. Also, the 8x10 format is one that he produced(along with many others) I know Henry has handled thousands of burkes... either way it IS a AWESOME IMAGE. CONGRATS!
