Directly from the family estate collection of Barney Stein comes this large-format 11" by 14" original photograph of Jackie Robinson in his Montreal Royals full uniform alonside Team President Hector Racine in 1946. Snapped within a year of Robinson breaking baseball's color barrier for the Brooklyn Dodgers, the crystal-clear image captures the two men seated on a bench having a personal moment and shaking hands, with Jackie holding his glove in his other hand.

This gorgeous black and white original photo in immaculate condition was printed off the original negative from the famous Dodgers photographer's camera many years later. It has been professionally framed with a lovely white matting inside a thick wooden border (made of ash like most baseball bats). This exact 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.)
