Default 1890s Eclipse Team Mamothplate photo

I will try and tell this story as short as I can. The item is this huge 1890s baseball team photo.
I worked at a law office with a guy (Jack) that collected old baseball memorabilia, and he invited me over to check out some of it. I saw this massive Eclipse team photo in original frame on his wall and I was hooked! I asked if it was for sale and he said no.
That piece started me on a 20 year collecting adventure for any antique sports memorabilia item I could find. I went to garage sales, flea markets, antique & collectibles shows, card shows, ect. almost every weekend. Then about 10 years later, Jack said he would sell me the photo for 250.00. What I did to raise most of the money was sell an off condition Reggie Jackson Rookie card for 200.00, then added another 50.00. The photo has been on my wall ever since, and I enjoy it every day just as much as the very first day I saw it! If anyone has any idea who each player was, and where the team is from please let me know!
