Don't think it was Princeton.

I think that this photo was taken in Philadelphia.
There was a photo studio at this address in 1899 in the city of Philadelphia. I believe that address sets alone to show where it was taken.

There's a picture of the Penn University 1899 varsity baseball team at the link below. One of the players is:

He was a right handed pitcher.
This was definitely CM Gilbert or a studio he owned. Then I wonder about this dot. Does this dot make it SH"I"... So my gut tells me that maybe this picture was given by someone to someone and the player was not involved. Maybe it was given by HS Shipeo or Shaped or something. So I am trying to match this face with Phillies pictures from 1899. Closest I can see is possibly Bill Bernhard. But that is a stretch.

Definitely Penn...Gotta be shape then.
I found a photo on Wiki of what I would assume the rowing crew. CM Gilbert was the photographer for that as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:19...of_PA_Crew.jpg Last edited by novakjr; 10-18-2011 at 09:32 PM.

H.L. Shape/99
That's my vote.

Amazing!! The way you guys came up with who this player was.
Unless someone else chimes in, I will say that this card is from 1899 of Hermann Louis Shape from Penn University. I wonder if that was his signature on the photo? Thanks for all of your work.
