1927 Babe Ruth Stadium Photo help

[ruth-gehrig]

Not exactly sure what I have here...

It's big, measuring 26" x 41".
I think I've seen similar sized player photos advertised as having originated from Yankee stadium but now cannot find the auction listings anywhere on the net.
Original photo was taken in 1927 by Nickolas Muray.
Under blacklight it does not glow.
Under magnification I see dots although some of the black portion of the photo is solid.

Does anyone know exactly what I have? Is it a photo or print? Ever seen any other similar sized stadium posters or photos?

Thanks!
Michael

There are these posters of a similar size:

Circa 1966-67 produced by Personality Posters out of NY

The one with heavy wear has a 1966 copyright, and the one from the hippie head shop has a 1967 copyright.

I can’t speak for any sort of stadium posters, but found these vintage examples interesting.

Thanks Trey for your reply and findings! I did a Google image search with artist name and Babe Ruth and the ebay results didnt show up for me. Usually they do. Needless to say the photo is getting returned for a refund!
Happy collecting,
Michael
