One of just two poses of Cleveland manager Tom Loftus in the N172 Old Judge issue (and the only one to picture him with the Spiders), this example boasts extremely strong image contrast, enabling the viewer to see considerable detail in the photo.  Even the chain of Loftus' pocket watch is visible, the studio lighting reflecting off the top of the bowler hat he holds in his right hand.  Ignore the technical grade, which addresses some surface dirt along the left side of the card - it is the image quality that makes this example so strong.
