Not concerned about the print on the back dating this more recently, but anybody have an idea who the guy on the front would be?

Thank you,

I cannot determine a match for the player, but the uniform appears to match the home uniform of the Cincinnati Reds in 1906 and 1907. Sometimes, minor league or amateur teams would use similar designs, so that is not a sure thing.

Kind of looks like Hans Lobert to me.

I don't disagree with the uniform analysis. And I was hoping someone would have offered a definitive answer.

Those steps up look like fan access to seating at a baseball field... I was thinking high minors. Seeing that big C made me wonder about Charleston, Columbus, Columbia... some high minor league city.

I went to a few games at Crosley Field, which was Redland Field back in 1906-7. But golly, I saw it in 1965 through about 1970... I don't recall steps like that there, but there could have been back in the day. Someone oughta be able to recognize that ballpark.

Great picture!!!

Redland Field hadn't been built by 1907; the Reds were playing in the Palace of the Fans, which had a very distinct appearance from the field.
