Default 20" x 16" c1895 basketball team - Is this a colorized photo or an art print?

I picked up this 20" x 16" basketball team photo last sunday at a show for a whopping $20.00...that is I think it's basketball...could be soccer/asociation FB...I've seen these kinds of prints before but they aren't too common...my question is...is there a specific name for this kind of image...It's hard to say if it's a print or photo...sort of in between..."Cummins" seems to be designated as the "artist"...Since the E.H. Roberts Portrait Co. started about 1911...someone probably took the negative or original photo to them to have this artistic treatment applied....

I'm anticipating Mr. Cycleback may be able to explain this kind of image...thanks so much

BTW....does anyone know anything about this team?
