Interesting 1910 Spalding T206 photos

[Blitzu]

Got this the other day, it's a page out of a 1910 Spalding Base Ball guide with some photos of the Cubs. Some of the photos are identical the portrait photos out of the T206 series. Take a look. Thought it was pretty cool.

a ton of the t206 portraits are derived from Carl Horner photographs.

Is that what they are? I usually don't see too many of the photos but I thought it was a neat piece. Thanks for the info!

You'll also find a lot of the action poses - fuzzy, though. Most are marked as being Conlon, but some pages will say 'Conlon and Van Oeyen'. Wish they had id'd the individual photos.

I owned all the guides from 1895 on at one point, so I saved the photos that were used for T206 action poses - most were too fuzzy to use on my site, but if there's any real interest, I can post them somewhere.
