Bob Feller Reads Magazine photograph

Datecirca 1937

DescriptionA black-and-white full-length posed photograph of Bob Feller reading a magazine while stretched out and fully clothed in bed. He is wearing a shirt, tie and shoes. He appears to be in a hotel room. He is reading a magazine with the title Caravan and the date April 1937 printed on the cover. The magazine cover is illustrated with a photographic image of a baseball player winding up to pitch with one leg in the air, the other standing on a baseball. The cover also has white line drawings of a batter, a catcher and a baseball diamond surrounding the image of the pitcher. The photo was most likely taken in 1937 based on the date on the cover of the magazine in the photo and on the date 4-17-1937 which is handwritten on the back in pencil (not shown).
