A lot of great stuff in this thread.

Here's a couple. First is Dummy Taylor and Leon Ames at Giants spring training, 1906. Love that the snap has its own little mount:

For their small size, scanned large the images are surprisingly sharp and hold an incredible amount of detail:



A couple of them a bit larger. Note the ump behind the plate, and then behind the pitcher:
