Default 1886 Princeton Baseball Photo and 1893 Indiana U Team Photo F/S

Posted By: Keith

Hello,

I have the following 2 19th century photographs for sale.

The first one is an 1886 Princeton Basball team imperial cabinet photo. I id'd it to 1886 because the identical team image is included in the History of Athletics at Princton book. The photo measures 14 by about 11 inches and it is mounted on a board of a ligher tan color.

I am looking for $600 for this photo shipped insured priority.



The second photo is an 1893 Indiana University baseball team photo. The board has nice gold gilded edges and the board measures about 11 x 14 inches. An Indiana University Library Curator dated this photo for me to 1893 with the help of other photos in the archives, and they also told me that one of the non-uniformed guys in the back row is Charles Jacob Sembower, who was a shortstop in the early 1890's, then a long term faculty member, and who IU's current baseball field is named after.

I am looking for $400 for this photo shipped insured priority.
