Default 1890s West Side Grounds Photo - ID help please

Does anyone have images of Chicago's West Side Grounds in the 1890s?
I recently acquired this photo that clearly depicts the West Side Grounds. It was found in a scrapbook that would date to the 1910s.

The photo is labeled as Baltimore vs. Chicago and indeed if the we look at the team uniforms for the Baltimore Orioles in 1896 and the Chicago Colts in 1896 the uniforms are a match for those teams.

Also, if we look at this 1906 RPPC of the World Series at the West Side Grounds we can see an obvious location match and the that the grandstands have been extended well past where they were in our photo. This suggests that the image is from the 1890s.

The photo is on Velox paper and my best guess is our image was printed somewhere in the 1910s to 1920s era.

Does anyone have images of the West Side Grounds in the 1890s? Anyone have any game action images of the 1890s Baltimore Orioles dynasty?

Any help is appreciated!
