A very scarce cabinet photo of a woman’s baseball club for the season of 1890 & 1891. The team was managed by W. S. Franklin as printed on the front mount. Along with the manager’s imprinted name are the player’s names as follows: Effie Earl, Deith Mavves, Alice Lee, Rose Mithcell, Angie Parker, May Howard, Annie Grant, Kittie Grant, Nellie Williams. The team is dressed in striped skirts with and hats with kneck bows. While the team played as an all female club, it is thought that perhaps two or three of the players were actually men dressed as women. The albumen photo and printing were placed offcenter upon the card and as a result, a bit of the printing is missing. A choice piece of early baseball history.
