This lot features a collection of 23 popular black and white George Burke/George Brace photos including: Christy Mathewson (2), Walter Johnson, Red Faber (2), George Kell (2), Rick Ferrell (2), Jackie Robinson, Hal Newhouser (2), Mickey Cochrane (2) and Bobby Doerr (2). George Burke and George Brace were baseball's premier photographers, teaming up to establish a Chicago institution from 1929-1993. The tandem captured some amazing, historic images of the Cubs, White Sox and visiting ball players due to the fact that Chicago was the only city hosting both American and National League teams. George Burke passed away way too young in 1951 and Brace carried the torch until his retirement in 1993 to amass one the most popular collections of photos ever assembled to this day.
