Default Unique 19th Century Images (CDV's,Tintypes,Cabinet Cards,Albumens,Ambrotypes,Dags)

Posted By: Keith

The first is a 1893 team photo of the Doane College Football team. Any ideas what is up with that the outfit the guy is wearing who is standing farthest back in the photo? Is that some sort of referee outfit?




The second is a cabinet photo of the captain of the Yale Crew team of 1884 (I have his name written down, but it escapes me now). It was custom for Yale sports team captains to pose in front of the famous Yale fence. Below the cabinet photo is a photo of Walter Camp from a few years earlier during his days as captain of the football team posing in front of the fence.






Last is a very large cabinet photo of the 1898 Princeton freshman football team.
