That particular stamping style dates to the 1915-20 period. Narrows it down some for you, but still leaves a lot of digging if you're trying to match it up to the original caption.

P.S. If that is the guy's last name on the back, I haven't been able to match it up to any major league player. Looks like it starts with an H for sure, and has a double-E towards the end. Any chance it could be a minor league or college player?
