Charlotte Cobb photograph

Dateundated

DescriptionA black-and-white, hip length photograph of Ty Cobb's first wife, Charlotte. She is gazing towards the camera with a small smile on her face. Newspaper markup can be seen around her. The image caption on the reverse (not shown) reads, "Mrs. Tyrus Raymond Cobb, of Augusta, GA., who has sued her famous baseball-playing husband for divorce, alleging cruelty. She requested temporary alimony and custody of their four minor children. The Cobbs' eldest son, Tyrus R. Cobb Jr., is 21 and a student at Princeton. He would not be affected by any ruling of the court regarding custody. The Cobbs were married in 1908. The former manager of the Detroit Tigers is now on the Pacific Coast." Although this caption was written in 1931, it is unclear when the actual photograph was taken.
