This may not be baseball, but it's definitely a circa 1850s daguerreotype showing a ball. Though unknowable with certainty, the earliest images showing baseballs, or any baseball equipment for that matter, may be the handful of dags of children that show balls. Many early children's books refer to base ball being played by children. Though unable to prove, I'd like to romantically think this boy is showing us his prized baseball in this image.
