New Carl Horner website with hundreds of images
My brother is a baseball historian who has been writing articles for SABR. He recently put together a website on MLB players photographed by Carl J. Horner between 1902-1909. See this link: https://hornerportraits.org/
Thought you'd enjoy looking at it. You will recognize many of the images from T206, T204 Ramly, and especially W600 Sporting Life Cabinets.

This is a fantastic reference to have! I always wondered if a portrait photo of a deadball player was a Horner, and now we have a resource for it. Will 1910 and later Horner photos be added?

Magnificent!
“Smoot bent the full weight of his body behind his bat and the ball shot away from his willow like a rifle ball. So hard was the ball stung that the right fielder did not know where it was until he heard it rebound off the right-field fence.” — St. Louis Republic, July 23, 1903

If he gets revenue for how much time someone spends on the site he just got a bunch from me. Very cool resource!

Horner images were also used on the Rose Postcard issue.
As to the T204's, the image are rotated 10-15 degrees. I believe that whomever T.T. Timayenis used to produce and print the cards might have just obtained the images from Horner's work(they were both in the Boston area) and used them without compensating him, trying to make them "different" by changing the appearance ever so slightly.
