One of the pages in the 1867 Harvard yearbook shows that very image. In those days, each yearbook page was a separate albumen photo. Some years back that original albumen image taken directly from an 1867 yearbook was auctioned by Lew Lipset.
EDITED to add that there is also extant a Cdv of the 1867 Harvard team. Inasmuch as it is blank-backed, it is likely a pirate Cdv, possibly made by taking a photo of the yearbook page. As I recall it is the cover photo on Mark Rucker's Cdv book on the first baseball cards (i.e., Cdvs).
