Default 1892 Rochester 'in action' albumen

Just got this, and it's already one of my favorites - Sunday, August 2, 1892 game at Seneca Park, Rochester NY, showing a ball hit to third, runners advancing from 1st and 2nd, and the 3rd baseman about to field the ball as the runner approaches.

Also interesting in that the city of Rochester banned baseball (I'm guessing just professional) in 1885, then lifted the ban in 1892. A few years later they banned Sunday games.

6"x10" albumen cabinet had the border trimmed ages ago:
