Earliest Known Images of African-Americans Playing Baseball
Of extraordinary cutural importance, these two stereoviews are the earliest known images of blacks playing baseball. When seen through the beautiful wooden stereoviewer that accompanies them, the images draw you into a past time. Consider: which of these black children, photographed in upstate New York in the early 1870's playing against a white team, were born slaves? And which, as old men, saw Jackie Robinson play with whites? The image of the integrated game in progress is rare and published; the image of the black team is the only example known.
