The Pittsburg National League Base Ball Club, shown here as a team portrait, belongs to the early years of the franchise, when the club played in the National League under the spelling "Pittsburg" that the city used before 1911. Posed team photographs like this one were a standard way for clubs of the period to promote themselves, and they tell us a good deal about the uniforms, the stern studio formality, and the way players were presented to the public. Look closely at the lineup and the caps and jerseys for clues to the era. Teams from this period were often photographed in a studio, so the backdrop and posing are worth a second glance.
