The Creighton is a Peck & Snyder, who are listed on the verso as the publishers. To my knowledge, P&S did not photograph any of the baseball subjects on their trade cards, but instead published the images. So that was why Rucker listed the photographer as unknown.
At the time Mark published his book of CdVs, the c. 1860 Atlantics had not been discovered. The studio for that CdV was Farach & Lalumia in Brooklyn. If one compares the rug in that carte to the rug in the Creighton image, they appear they might be the same. So very possibly Farach & Lalumia was the studio where the Creighton image was taken.
