Directly from the family estate collection of Barney Stein comes this pair of 8x10 original photos of Jackie Robinson meeting King Faisal II of Iraq when the young leader visited Ebbets Field on Aug. 13, 1952, during an ambassador trip to New York. One shows the two shaking hands next to a WNBC radio microphone in a room full of well-dressed men. The other pictures them seated as Jackie reviews a paper document on the table. What an interesting conversation these two must have had!Each photo was printed off its original negative from the famous Dodgers photographer's camera many years later. The reverse of each has a Barney Stein stamp. One comes with a PSA/DNA (Type 2) LOA. The other is guaranteed to pass as the same Type 2 designation if submitted.YEAR/ERA: August 13, 1952GENERATION: First (printed from original negative)PHOTOGRAPHER: Barney SteinSIZE: 8 x 10CONDITION: MintPROVENANCE: Letter from Barney Stein's daughter, Bonnie (Stein) CrosbyAUTHENTICATION: PSA/DNA Type II LOA (Shaking Hands)The famous meeting of King Faisail II is featured on pages 67 and 88 of Through a Blue Lens, a 2007 book by Bonnie Crosby and Dennis D'Agostino (forewords by Peter O'Malley and Carl Erskine) that chronicled Barney Stein's 1937-1957 Brooklyn Dodgers photography.
