Classic vintage matte-finish 8 x 10 George Burke photo of Foxx in his powerful batting stance during his Red Sox heyday, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, "Roy, You are a swell guy, Jimmie Foxx.” Reverse bears Burke's "Geo. Burke, Photo, 847 Belmont Ave., Chicago" stamp on the reverse. In very good condition, with staining to the edges and light speckling to the image. Foxx is very scarce in signed photos of this size, and Burke’s photos are of the utmost desirability among collectors—he is universally acknowledged as one of the greatest baseball photographers of his day, with many of his images being used in the iconic Goudey baseball card sets of the early 1930s. Encapsulated by PSA/DNA as a "Type I" Burke photograph.
