Other than the date scrawled on the mount, how do we know the suit pose is from 1890? That date could have been written by anyone at any time and could easily be wrong. I have see plenty of cabinets where the player pictured is misidentified by a written in name. If people can get the subject wrong they can surely get the date wrong.
Based on the 1891 schedule piece I agree that the uniform cabinet is certainly from early-1891 or late-1890.
