Two players, identified in the caption as Miss Schnall and Miss Slachu, rest their hands on home plate in this view of the New York Female Giants, a women's baseball club photographed around 1913. Women's teams drew crowds in the early 1900s with exhibition games that mixed real play with showmanship, and pictures like this one helped publicize them. The print came from Underwood & Underwood, a photography firm known for its news and stereo images of the period. The caption is an older, unverified record, so the players' full names and the team's history are worth checking against other sources.
