Albumen photo June 6, 1860-Potomac BBC/Excelsior BBC of Baltimore
I hope everyone is doing well! I got this piece back in mid-summer 2019. Found in a north Georgia estate by a relative (uncle) and gifted to me. Even though it has condition issues, I feel fortunate to have it.
Taken June 6, 1860 depicting players of both clubs intertwined in the photo. Many holding bats. The game was played between Potomac BBC of Washington DC verse the Excelsior BBC of Baltimore in which the Baltimore club won the contest. As I have researched the game was played on the White House property grounds.
I attached a few scans. I apologize for they seem blurry and not sure how to make them clearer? In hand much better detail. I appreciate any comments, information, knowledge that anyone would care to share?
Many thanks,
Ryan
