Formal dress and a carefully groomed mustache set this studio portrait apart from the action shots that usually fill a baseball collection. Sepia-toned portraits like this were common from the late 1800s into the early 1900s, when sitters paid a photographer to pose in a suit against a plain or painted backdrop. Players of the period often sat for such portraits too, which may explain why it is filed under baseball, though whether this sitter ever took the field is not known. The warm brown tones and crisp collar show how much care went into the pose.
