Weird either way, but now I'm curious to see what you think after comparing them side-by-side.

Hmm...You know what, I believe that you are correct now that I've looked closely. I have looked at these two images before and wondered about them and why... I wonder what in the photographic process would make them look like this? Maybe you are right about the lighting. Do you think the shot that includes Paul Derringer has been altered so as to create this look? I guess I might know more once I have it in hand...

BTW Lance, Vandy idolized Babe when he was growing up. Additionally, he was a huge fan of Carl Hubbell (also a pretty fair lefty hurler I've heard...
![]() Vandy grew up in Midland Park, NJ, just up the road from the NY Giants... Last edited by Scott Garner; 08-25-2013 at 04:22 AM. |

I'm glad that your Vandy/Babe photo answered the riddle that Graig and I puzzled over... Last edited by Scott Garner; 08-25-2013 at 04:31 AM. |

Great pics Scott.
I wonder if the top one could be a copy of an original print. There seems to be so much less detail in the top one as compared to the bottom one of Vandy and Ruth. Notice the bat the Derringer is holding in the top photo. Ruth is holding it in the second. The printing of the band is sharper in the second picture, but the overall color is pretty much the same. Could the first be from a copy negative where the photographer did something to the print to make the jackets and hats not be able to show the logos?

FWIW:
A) the wrinkles/folds in Vandermeer's jacket look (to us) almost identical in both photos. B) Some black-&-white film will see red as black, and blue (even dark blue) as grey. C) Cincinnati wore blue caps with red peaks in 1938. The Reds caps both Vandy and the Babe are wearing in the pic with Derringer look grey with black peaks in our browser. The caps look black with light-colored peaks in the two-shot, and Vandy's jacket in that pic looks to have a black front and light sleeves, which would mean the front is blue and the sleeves red. Which would account for the all-black look of the jacket in the three-shot. Our best guess: one photographer was using better-quality film.

IDK, but you are certainly correct that the clarity is much better in the second photo that features Vandy and Babe only. Lance called this photo a Type II as I recall... The photo that I just bought (Vandy, Babe, Derringer) is supposedly a Type I and the slug indicates that it is from 1938. I'll know more when it's in hand. I really like the image regardless.... |
