The title on this glass negative names a Washington baseball team from 1885, but the recorded date is September 27, 1924, and the National Photo Company supplied the title as unverified data. That mismatch is worth keeping in mind, since the date points to a 1924 sitting rather than the 1880s. The National Photo Company worked in Washington, D.C., from the early twentieth century into the 1930s, documenting local people, events and sports, so the image likely reflects that commercial work. Streaks and blemishes on the glass come from deterioration of its original coating, a common condition in negatives of this age.
