Have you seen the 1890 NY Players League team photo this drawing is based on?

This drawing, which was published in The Sporting Life on May 17th, 1890, appears to be based on an actual team photograph.
Has anybody ever seen the 1890 NY PL team photo this drawing is based on?
If it exists I'd like to see it.
Thanks.

Paul--I assume that you are aware of the NY PL cabinet that appeared in the last major Hunt auction.

Jay- it wasn't this pose, was it?

Yes, that is the first and only cabinet or photo I've seen of the NY PL team. Below is the link which shows the cabinet and description. The cabinet photos were "head and shoulder" photos and are different poses than those in The Sporting Life team drawing.
