About this photograph
This cabinet card portrait of Yank Robinson was produced by Goodwin & Co. in 1888, when Robinson played for the St. Louis Browns. The photograph is an albumen print mounted on card stock, a common format for baseball cards of the period.
Beyond what the card itself indicates, little is documented about Robinson's career with the Browns or the circumstances of this portrait sitting. The Library of Congress holds this image as part of its historical photograph collection.
