The Reds uniform sets this portrait apart from the many other baseball images on the board: the player poses with a bat and wears the team's colors, which marks him as a member of the Cincinnati club. Team portraits and individual studio shots like this one were a staple of early baseball photography, when players were often photographed in uniform for newspapers, trading cards and team publicity. Pictures like this one help show how the sport presented itself to fans, with players posed formally and the bat held as a symbol of the game.
