Like an adjoining lot with an oversized photo of a young Joe DiMaggio this massive 27-by-38-inch blown-up news magazine photo of Babe Ruth traces its lineage to the cavernous areas of hallways ramps and corridors underneath the stands at the old Yankee Stadium. There such charming homages to greats of earlier eras were sprinkled about to perk up various spaces that otherwise might have leaned to the dreary or merely forgettable. The news magazine photo is blown up to enormous proportions including the magazine type below noting Ruth's status as "The Fabulous King of the Roaring '20's"; this particular frame - heavy 1 3/4-inch plastic with plexiglass cover - is professionally done and thought to be an upgrade from the more austere efforts typically undertaken with these kinds of presentations which often meant exposing the heavy cardboard photo blowup to the vagaries of temperature and climate swings. There are no discernible condition issues with this Ruth presentation.
