Tris Speaker – Bain portrait, 1912 – $3,000


George Grantham Bain’s close in portrait of Speaker with his bat. It captures Speaker’s intensity. The new Fenway Park, which opened that year, is seen in the background. There are two different prints here with slightly different cropping and toning. These would have been issued at the same time and sent to different publications for use.
