Hi Shawn -
I can't help directly with the unusual photo but have a little info regarding the bottom photo. On the top of the photo it says "Harry Trott" as Australian Test Captain. (Test is a form of cricket.) This article is from an Illinois paper dated October 4, 1896. It mentions Captain G.H.S. Trott

Bizarre and fascinating image... Agree that the posts above are indeed on the right track. Would also like to see, though, what else Tom Shieber might discern and derive from the photo at his Baseball Researcher site

The Chicago History Journal See Link Below
While doing some research on this photo I came across a website called
"The Chicago History Journal" that is run by Sharon Williams. I contacted her and asked if she may have some info on the photo. Sharon did not, but asked if she could do a write up on it. I think Sharon did a great job and she even included a link to Net54! (Thank you Sharon) Also, someone replied with a very interesting theory as well... It is at the bottom of the article. Thought you guys & gals might like to see it. And thanks again to everyone who has helped. Shawn England http://www.chicagohistoryjournal.com/ Last edited by smokelessjoe; 01-17-2011 at 07:02 PM.
