The title names a pitcher, H.C. Megerle, and frames the picture as a study of how his delivery developed, so it reads as a sequence of stages rather than a single moment. The date, 1889, falls in the decade when pitching moved from strictly underhand throws toward the overhand delivery that the rules permitted in the mid-1880s. Pictures like this were popular with fans and the sporting press, which used them to explain a game whose rules and techniques were still changing. The print is worth studying for how it turns an athlete's motion into an argument about progress.
