Held in Lowell, Massachusetts, in 1872, this was the ninth annual New England Fair, an event that had become a regular part of regional life by then. Lowell was one of the largest textile manufacturing cities in the country, and fairs like this drew crowds from across the region with exhibits, machinery displays, and entertainment. The picture is filed under Boston baseball teams, a reminder that the sport was spreading quickly in New England in the early 1870s, when the Boston club was among the strongest teams in the first professional league. The record does not spell out the link between the fair and the club, so that connection is worth checking against the original caption.
