Chief Bender T227 pose, circa 1911

A crisp Brown Brothers photograph of Chief Bender in Shibe Park Philadelphia circa 1911. This shot was used to produce his 1912 T227 card, note the rotation of the image for the card which produces an unnatural tilt to his head.

The original glass plate negative this photo was produced from is also in The Collection. Here they are shown side by side:
