Gorgeous 4.5" x 3.5" cabinet photo featuring an action-style pose of three players in game action spectators in the background. The hitter wields what appears to be a ring-style bat pillbox cap perched on his head. The catcher wears a fingerless glove and wire mask. Neither player has any identifying markings on his uniform that would make it possible for us to identify the players or even the teams involved - regardless it is an outstanding photo depicting 19th Century players and equipment. "One Strike - H.B.H." is written in ink within the lower margin of the mount. It does appear that the lower portion of the mount may have been trimmed away at some point but the photo itself is in outstanding condition with some minor age-related discoloration noted near the top.
