1 photographic print on cabinet card mount : albumen.


This cabinet card from 1888 shows Scott Stratton of the Louisville Colonels as part of a baseball card series. The photograph was produced by Goodwin & Co. as an albumen print mounted on card stock.

Beyond these cataloguing details, the archive record provides no further information about Stratton's career, his role with the Colonels, or the circumstances of this portrait. The year 1888 places the image in the early era of baseball photography and commercially produced player cards, but without additional documentation, nothing more can be stated about the subject or this particular photograph.

Compiled from the catalogue record and reference notes on the formats and events involved. The archive record above is the primary source.
