This 1880s Webster & Albee stereoview reproduced an 1870s stereoview issued by Bacon & Carnall. It may represent the earliest photographic image of African-Americans playing baseball. The photo taken by photographer FW Bacon depicts a game at the House of Refuge an orphanage in Rochester New York. The game pitted "colored" and "white" youths at the orphanage. In the photo the African-American team wore dark hats with the "white" players wore white hats. The stereoview is in VG condition with the curling typical of stereoviews as well as some edge wear and discoloration and worn corners. An extremely interesting and historically significant photo.
