craigoh well great pickup. at first glance i thought that was the one that trevor owns. after comparison i determined it wasn't, just another that has surfaced. i have a couple other boyd des moines baseball photos as well a few of la roche's. as far as i have been able to determine, la roche bought out boyd's studio in late october or early september 1887. however by august 1888 la roche left des moines to photograph the klondike gold rush. when he left he sold his studio back to the boyds. hope that helps you in the dating. if you would like i can email some of the images that i have of the 87-88 boyd & la roche photos.
