Joe_G.Keith, do you have reason to believe this photo was taken in Boston? The 1887 Chicago & Detroits have the same back drop but I've yet to conclude which studio took those 1887 shots (w stadium back drop - first issued in 1887 as long numbered OJs). Some sources such as Lew Lipset suggest all the 1887 Old Judges were taken by Joseph Hall of Brooklyn except for the 1887 Script cards which are Joseph Wood of NY. I'm convinced Joseph Hall took the Brooklyn photos (outdoor photos), but not as convinced about the other teams (8 National League teams). Do you have any supporting evidence to suggest someone other than Joseph Hall took the 1887 Chicago & Detroit photos?
Nice cabinet !
