Beyond these facts recorded in the archive, little is documented about Tomney or the circumstances of this portrait. The archive provides no information about his playing career, position, or time with the Colonels. Without additional verified sources, the photograph stands as a visual record from early professional baseball, part of the baseball card tradition that emerged in the late 1880s.
