Directly from the family estate collection of Barney Stein comes this 7" by 9" original photograph of Ted Williams, Roy Campanella and Duke Snider all in full uniform having a laugh during Spring Training, circa 1950s. Barney Stein titled this playful image, "Trio of All-Stars Agony", and there's a brief caption taped on the back of the frame. This crystal-clear black and white original photo in pristine condition was printed off its original negative from the famous Dodgers photographer's camera many years later. The fiber-based gelatin silver print has been professionally matted and framed. This exact framed photo was on display as part of the Barney Stein Photo Collection in 2001 at the Frick Museum in Pittsburgh, PA.
