Iconic image of Rube Waddell in 1906 taken by The Pictorial News Co. Waddell is depicted in Philadelphia’s Columbia Park as we can determine from the backdrop. We know it at least 1906 as this exact print was used to create the supplement used in the June 16, 1906 edition of the The Police Gazette magazine as seen below. Note on the print’s backside the “Supplement” notation indicating such and the crop marks still seen on the front and back that align with the published Police Gazette supplement.

This image was also used to create Waddell’s 1910 Standard Caramel E93 card.
