Hall of Fame outfielder Willie Mays is pictured here in a uniform quite different than the New York Giants one to which he is accustomed. Measures 8" x 10". "Mays" handwritten on reverse with Associates Press Wirephoto stamp. Boston Herald Archives Hologram. (M0619)
The original Boston Herald was founded in 1846 by a group of Boston printers jointly under the name of John A. French & Company. The paper was published as a single two-sided sheet, selling for one cent. This is an original photo, in many cases a Type 1 printed at the time of the event. File copies or type 2 photos are also found, and can be distinguished by the markings on the reverse.
