That's it, thanks, Leon. Credit to Joseph Hall for a great shot.

Not mine but I came across this when I was researching a colorized picture of one of the players pictured. Great photo.

Hey Jonathan, great choice!
I remember this was from catcher Robert Westlake's collection and sold in REA a number of years ago. They had a second lot with additional Westlake cabinet photos along with this spectacular medal...

This may not be the most iconic image, but it is a pretty cool photo by Wires. And it's from my collection. It's a prototype for OJ # 171-5

This is not the photographer who took the image for Goodwin and Co. In fact, the photograph seems off (could be the scan). Is it definitely an albumen photograph?

Jay, My memory is not the best, but I think I posted this years before and you advised that it is no good. It is a scan I have on file. I don't remember where I got it. Maybe eBay. I'll see if I can find the card/photo. The scan does look fuzzy. Here's 2 better photos for the thread....
