Knickerbocker Photo, Pt. III
OK, gang. Here is an update on my stereoview photograph that I believe to be of the Knickerbocker Base Ball Club. First of all, the date has been confirmed to be from the late-1850s to early-1860s. That is the unanimous consensus of the photography experts to whom I've sent the images, but the most prominent has been the National Gallery of Art, Department of Photographs, in Washington, DC. I believe that entity to be the gold standard, and I am very satisfied that the date issue is resolved.
As for the IDs, after confirming the date and taking into account the opinions of people who have seen it and those on this board, I believe they are now set. The ages, hairlines, etc. fit perfectly. I did send it to the HOF as promised in the previous thread, and did hear back. They said that my images and the comparison images they have are not clear enough to make a definitive statement. So I am trying to figure out the best way to confirm the IDs. They are Edward Anthony, Doc Adams, William R. Wheaton, Fraley C Niebuhr, Charles S. De Bost, and Harry Wright.
