That's got to be one of the nicest portrait style photos of a player I've seen.
Most are fairly ridgidly posed and very formal, this looks like the photographer was messing with him and snapped the pic just as he was getting a "come on man!" look from him

Thanks guys! It is definitely one of those photos that it is hard to take your eyes off of.

We have a full name and a bio for Mr. Smith! Thanks to digging by Patrick Carpentier and Christian Trudeau, Mr. Smith's full name was Taylor Smith. He spent a lot of his time playing on black teams in Pennsylvania beginning in 1884 before heading north to become the first Black player in Montreal.
There is a perfect line from a newspaper article that matches the personality he is showing in his photo: "Pitcher Smith of the Cuban Giants has a set of ivories that hoodooed the Stars yesterday and every time he smiled one of his six by nine smiles he rattled the men at the bat so that they did not plug him to the extent expected." The bio comes from James E Brunson III's Black Baseball 1858-1900.

That is a great cabinet and great research. I have this one of the 1896 St. Hyacinthe team. Could not find out much about them or the league.
