NOTES:
 
   On September 6, 1957, the New York Yankees Put Mickey Mantle In Lenox Hill Hospital In Hope the Rest Will Cure Shin Splints. This Associated Press (AP) Wirephoto pictures New York Yankee slugger Mickey Mantle grinning as nurse Barbara Boch checks his pulse in Lenox Hill Hospital (New York). Mantle is reading the book, "Six-Guns Wild" (pictured below)

 The caption strip at the bottom of the photograph Reads: "(NY5) New York, Sept. 7--PULSE OF THE YANKEES-- New York Yankees' Mickey Mantle grins up at Nurse Barbara Boch as she takes his pulse at Lenox Hill Hospital yesterday. Mantle entered the hospital for a rest until Tuesday in an effort to cure shin sprints, a painful tightness of muscles weak as the Yankees falter in their drive. (AP Wirephoto) (kf70700hvn)1957"

 A Wire photo, also known as Wirephoto, Laserphoto or telephoto, was made by major news services, such as the Associated Press (AP), or United Press International (UPI). The wire photo process was invented in the 1920s. The term Wirephoto was coined by the Associate Press (AP) in the 1930's. Laserphotos, which were the replacement to wirephotos, was used from the 1970''s through to the 1990s.

 The wirephoto is the end result, when the original News Service Photograph was placed in a wirephoto machine and sent out via "wire" (transmitted through telegraph or telephone wires) to one or many Newspapers for publication. The process was similar to sending and receiving a fax. The photo printed out in the receiving wirephoto machine is the wirephoto, not the original Press Photo that was used.

 During the making of the wirephotos, the News service would place the paper caption strip at the bottom of the source photograph, and that would be part of the scanned image sent through the telephone wires. The resulting wirephoto will have the caption as part of the photographic image.

 Another characteristic of the Wirephoto is the editing marks used to show where to crop the photo. The back will also have notes written on the back, filing date and the caption from the publication the wire photo was used in, as seen in the example below. Because of the added caption, the wire photos will vary in size, and measure approximately 7" -8 1/2" by 10"-11".

 The Collectors value for wire photos are lower than the original News Service Photograph used to make the Wirephotos. They are 2nd generation copies, and as such the clarity and quality of the image is not as good as the original. The Paper used to processes the wire photos was very thin, that tended to age poorly, with fading and sepia toning, as seen here with this photo.
