Jackie Duke Campy Pee Wee and company are all here along with their first-year manager Walter Alston greeting the camera against a backdrop of Ebbets Field in this spectacular 1954 Brooklyn Dodgers team panoramic photograph that spans 8" x 48" (four feet!). Captions in white provide the essentials: team year photography studio ("Verna") etc. Based on the area visible within its period frame the condition of the photo appears flawless. Such photos of the Jackie Robinson-era Brooklyn Dodgers are very scarce with most of the few examples seen in the marketplace having emerged from team sources. These photos were almost certainly not produced for commercial consumption hence their rarity today. They are all the more rare in the NM-MT condition claimed by Walter Alston’s personal copy presented here.
Includes LOA from the Alston Family.
