I can't say for sure whether or not that's Big Ed, he did have four brothers in MLB as well, but it looks like him. The uniform appears to be a Philadelphia Athletics uni from the American Association, which existed from 1882 to 1891. Given Ed's ties to Philadelphia as part of the Phillies during that time period, it doesn't seem impossible that he may have worn this uniform at some point, though I don't see any mentions of him playing for the team. Maybe an exhibition? If one of his brothers played for the A's during that time, that may well be who is pictured.
