A portrait of a player identified only as a Washington baseball player, the subject's name is not recorded, and the title was supplied by a cataloger rather than taken from a caption. The likely team is the Washington Senators of the American League, though the record does not confirm which club is meant. The picture is a glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection, whose New York-based Bain News Service supplied newspapers and magazines with news and sports photographs in the early twentieth century. Such portraits were often made for quick publication, so they offer a useful look at how ballplayers were presented to the public in that era.
