Directly from the family estate collection of Barney Stein comes this large-format 11" by 14" original photograph of Babe Ruth donning his Brooklyn Dodgers coaching uniform during his brief tenure with the team in 1938. The crystal-clear black and white image was printed off the original negative from the famous Dodgers photographer's camera many years later. It has been professionally framed with lovely white matting inside a thick wooden border (made of ash like most baseball bats). This framed photo was on display as part of the Barney Stein Photo Collection exhibit in 2001 at the Frick Art and Historical Museum in Pittsburgh, PA. (Certificate from this exhibit included on reverse side. See picture of Barney's daughter with this very photo.)
