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.
