Captured through the discerning lens of Charles Conlon, a pioneer in sports photography, this portrait of Rube Marquard exudes a timeless elegance. The photograph is a testament to Conlon's artistry, his ability to not only capture a player's physical likeness but also to evoke their personality and presence. Marquard's demeanor – the steely gaze, the relaxed posture – is frozen in time, offering a poignant connection to the player's world. The photograph's age, a relic from over a century ago, only enhances its allure. The black and white tones and subtle textures encapsulate the era's raw authenticity. Encapsulated as Type 1 by PSA/DNA with an accompanying LOA.
