COMMENTS / CONDITION: Original 3"x5" snapshot photo of Joe Dobson circa 1941 pictured in his civvies. See detailed scan for photo condition. This photo originates from a charming little photograph album which provides a fan's eye view of Fenway's finest by way of one-of-a-kind snapshots snapped inside and just outside the hallowed baseball grounds. Most are portraits of the players themselves. As these photos were previously affixed in the aforementioned album, each at least some remnant or residue from the typical black scrapbook-type pages to which they were affixed. Otherwise, the backs are unmarked. The cover of the album itself is dated 1941, with the photos all appearing to date to that period. See our other listings this week for more original snapshots from this unique collection.
