Classic vintage glossy 7.25 x 8.75 photo of Babe Ruth in a black tank top, arms crossed, nicely signed and inscribed in fountain pen, "To Virginia, From 'Babe' Ruth, Jan. 23, 1927.” In very good condition, with creasing, scuffing, and staining, primarily to the borders, and old scrapbook remnants along the top and bottom edges; the flaws could be somewhat matted out, and in no way detract from Ruth's bold handwriting. This particular image of Ruth was taken in early 1927 by Sussman and used on the box cover of one of the many products he endorsed, Babe Ruth All-American Underwear. A desirable publicity image dating to the prime of his career.
