The setting that distinguishes this image is California, where the 1897 tour brought the Baltimore and All America teams west for exhibition games, a stretch of travel that was still a major undertaking in the 1890s. Composite group photographs like this one were a popular way to record a team, with individual player portraits assembled into a single image. The Baltimore club was among the strongest in the National League during that decade, and touring teams such as this one helped spread the professional game beyond the eastern cities. The picture offers a useful record of how players presented themselves to fans and sponsors at the time.
