1930 Bobby Jones New York Ticker-Tape Parade Brown Bros. Original Photo
Paraded through New York City was the 'Famed citizen of Atlanta,' as Bobby Jones is was described by the media for the July 2, 1930 'Big Apple' Ticker-Tape celebration concluding the first two legs of his Grand Slam. Returning to the states from his overseas wins at The British Amateur at St Andrews followed by the Open Championship at Royal Liverpool, this iconic city street party was captured by a fortunate lensman in this close, crystal clear shot with his wife Mary in the back of the car. Confetti was raining down, detailed in this detailed photographic composition with the darkest darks and lightest lights. This is closer than most images of the smiling Jones at the parade, with the ability to make out his facial features. Might we add, the angle is superior to most shots of this day as well.
Verso stamps come from the Brown Brothers photography studio in Sterling, Pennsylvania and include 'The original Photo Must Be Returned to Brown Bros.' Bobby Jones is handwritten twice, along with the 1930 date. 8 x 10"
