I was keeping an eye on this. I think that its a very neat item but I would date it alot closer to 1870 or later. Maybe a photo expert can help out but I don't think that this type of image was even possible until the later 1860's

It looks to be 1860s. It was very difficult to photograph outdoor game action back them, but I've seen 2 or 3 examples from the Civil War era.

To me the players definitely appear to be staged in various fielding poses so as to minimize any blurring caused by movement.
As a side note, the two lads with their arms stretched to the sky seem to be rather awkwardly anticipating a pop up to the infield. Brian Last edited by brianp-beme; 03-24-2013 at 11:49 PM. Reason: two arm stretching lads and awkwardness |

It was difficult to photographically capture movement back then. Which is why all the Old Judge poses are obviously staged. And why you never see a photo of a star like King Kelly or Cap Anson in action during a real game.
Posed or not, I think it's a great and rare image. And I bet it was taken during a game. Last edited by drc; 03-25-2013 at 01:09 AM. |

Probably 1860's and a really special image. It's rare to see a game in progress with such great detail.

The ebay CdV was made somewhere between 1867 and 1871 based upon the photographers, most probably from 1867-1869. I was the underbidder on this lot and wasn't surprised at the price, given the rarity of "action" baseball CdVs. I can come up with less than 10 I know of. Here's the only one I have. It dates from 1864-1866 because of the tax stamp on the reverse. Hoboken NJ is written on the reverse.
