As for that image lacking 18 players, and being formally posed yet haphazardly conceived...
I think that at that point in time people are so conscious of being photographed, new technology, and all, it being seldom done, that the subjects would be a bit honored and would conduct themselves with a higher level of propriety and decorum. So they'd look stiff.
Makes me wonder about what would be the earliest true action photo that made it to a baseball card... Not the staged N172 stuff. Maybe the Triple Folders? I don't know. And Sean, I'm sorry if that hijacks your baseball questions a bit.
Frank.
