Leon, wonderful image, but I am pretty sure that that is the 1868 team.

He probably knows that...all I got was the picture and posted it when I received it. I am sure you are correct Kevin. Still pretty cool to add to the thread though ....(I hope)

Very cool to add to the thread, but it is the 1868 team, with a few of the players who also played on the 1869 team. (H. Wright,
Waterman,
Gould and Asa Brainard)

Yes, that is a great addition to the thread. Thanks for sharing it for its owner.

I love the Hoag composite, the only one i had seen was in the Ellard book. Thank You.

Actually the Hoag composite is different than the one in Ellard, not the photographs used, but the decorations and descriptions. Very nice piece.

Bruce--any idea where these images are from?

Yes, the images are the exact same, but the details on the composite are different.

I always thought that it was weird that there are two (different, same sitting?) images of Wright used in the same Ellard composite.

Sorry Jay, I don't recognize the photos from any others I have seen, although they do look somewhat similar to the Hoags, hard to tell in the posted image, but there does appear to be variations even factoring in possible reversal of images. It is also possible that the photos are from 1870, not 1869, as they played in Rockford both years and there does not appear to be a date on the composite. Beautiful composite by the way, and will continue to try to id when it was taken.

bgar3: Great info. Thanks for sharing it.

Here is a composite that uses the Hoag images:
