Help date this Tufts baseball cabinet team photo - 1880s to 1890s?
Please help me date this Tufts team photo. The photo itself is about 4 x 5 and I believe it is albumen. It is very thin and firmly affixed to the green mount, if you angle it back and forth it exhibits a pinkish hue.
I believe the photo depicts players from then Tufts College, now Tufts University, near Boston. In the enlarged portion of the photo you can better see the uniform and equipment details. Notice the quilted pants, cage style catcher's mask, thick handled bats, painter's brim caps, wide belts and boldly striped long sleeve undershirt. It seems unusual to see one taken in the field and not in studio or by a building. Anyone care to hazard a guess as to age or content? My guess is 1880s to 1890s.
