About this Item

Carte d'visite. Albumen image with watercolor highlights provided by hand to the stockings, belts, shirts, and caps. 2.5" x 3.75" on slightly larger thick card mount. Image of two seated baseball players; one with the letters "BS" on the bib front of his shirt; the other with an Old English "C" on his. Uncaptioned. Photographer name and address on verso. Only fair condition, with the albumen image badly faded and the players' faces visible only with effort. Of most interest are the very early uniforms, likely the carte is post-Civil War because of lack of a Civil War-era tax stamp; but almost certainly pre-1870.
