This cabinet card portrait from 1888 shows Harry Lyons in the uniform of the St. Louis Browns. The photograph was produced by Goodwin & Co, printed using the albumen process on cabinet card mounting.

Beyond these basic facts, little is documented about Lyons or the circumstances of this portrait. The Library of Congress holds the original photographic print, but no further biographical information about the player or details about this specific baseball card series accompanies the record.
