Here are several photos taken by a Chicago sportswriter in 1906 that were once in his personal scrapbook. Some of the photos were used in the Chicago newspaper he worked for and included with the photo is the exact same image with the original news clipping that was in the scrapbook.
The person I got these photos from removed them from the scrapbook and they had notations on the scrapbook page of who the player was and the year. That information was copied to the back of the photo by the person I got these from. That person then also mounted these photos with double-sided tape to a piece of posterboard but I was able to remove them. All the photos were taken in 1906 at either West Side Park or South Side Park depending on the league the player was from. 1906 of course was a magical year in Chicago resulting in the White Sox beating the Chicago Cubs in the World Series. The back of the photos exhibit being in a scrapbook for the first 90 years of their existence and them taped to a pieces of posterboard for the past 20 years.

Taken at South Side Park as the signage in the background matches up to the image of the field I am also offering for sale. Can’t be too many images of him out there given his short playing career.
