1890 Bristol Base Ball Club Photograph.  The Earliest Known Image of a Black Baseball Team

Little is known about this team other than that this photo has been identified by experts as being the very first photograph of a black baseball team.  The studio setting, equipment, and style of uniform is completely consistent with the era.

Team is as follows. Far Left: Eugene Wall    Back Row, L to R: Joseph Brown, Charles Davis, Isaac Washington (Mgr), Halsey Bradford   Middle Row: John Crump, Theodore Smith, James Sims, William Barker   Far Right: John Hunt   Front Row: James Davis, Stephen Tuno, Shadrach Elliot 

Terrific 5x7 inch cropped photograph of the team.  Digitally enhanced and professionally reprinted (not just junk printed on a home computer printer) only the finest quality!!!
