Description

Walter Johnson

Large grouping of 29 original plus vintage news photos depicting the Big Train throughout his life, dating from the 1920s–1940s and beginning with a 1927 photo showing his inauguration into the Blackfeet Indian tribe. Other photos show him as a bottling company salesman, posing with Calvin Coolidge, at a welcoming celebration at Senator Stadium, receiving an award, during his political career, with a Fox Terrier, at home, as broadcaster and baseball manager and with his son in the hospital. The majority are originals, some vintage wirephotos and a few others are period photos with later generation images (a 1920s photo showing him back in 1907). Photos show expected news service use and wear, with vintage stamps and news tags on back. Nice selection. RR Auction COA.
