Nap Lajoie Bust of Head photograph

Datepossibly 1937

DescriptionA black-and-white photograph of Napoleon "Nap" Lajoie of his face and cap cropped and placed on a hand-drawn picture of a sculpture bust. Lajoie's face has a serious and determined emotional quality with his brow slightly furrowed. Below Lajoie's chin is a hand drawn image of a bust with "NAP LAJOIE" written in the base. In the background are blue lines. There are not enough details on the uniform or background to indicate team or location. This photograph appears to have been created around the time Lajoie was announced to become inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
