The Old Judge card you showed is of James McQuaid, a player with the Denver team. We know of 4 poses of this player. The umpire was John (Jack) McQuaid, who has only 1 known Old Judge pose. As for Fessenden, he has a 4th pose, standing with arms at his side. All this information is readily available in the seminal tome The Photographic Baseball Cards of the Goodwin & Company (1886-1890) by hobby scholars Jay Miller, Joe Gonsowski and Richard Masson.

It pictures Jack McQuaid a umpire and player, this is one of the scarce no-numbered Old Judge cards, but several sources have indicated that this is McQuaid.

He appears to be in a player's uniform plus he is shown catching a ball. Baseball Reference does not show that he played at any point from 1887-89.

My question to you is: Is this considered a umpire card?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

-Owen

EDIT: Also if anyone knows of the existence of a 4th Wallace Fessenden card, please let me know, here are the ones I'm aware of:
-Hands behind Back
-Arms folded
-Hand on knee

Note: This isn't my card or my picture.
