Furthered by the fact that he did not move to the Washington Street address until 1905(however the images could have been produced from the original negative and mounted at a later date, I have seen many different mounts used for the same images) as these were offered for sale to the public at his various photography locations over the years. Also of note none of the Sporting Life Giants composites from 1904-1907 use the Mathewson image above.
The uniform worn by Mathewson and Wilson in the posted Horner cabinets, with NY on the sleeve in a style similar to the current Mets' logo, was worn by the Giants in 1909 and 1910.
