Tintype photograph in CDV format depicting an unidentified woman in a studio portrait, mounted on a card bearing a printed baseball advertising design on the reverse, likely dating to the late 19th century. The front presents a straightforward bust portrait, while the verso features a decorative printed image of two baseball players with stylized lettering, creating an unusual dual-purpose object combining portrait and commercial ephemera. No photographer’s imprint is visible.

The woman is shown facing forward with a direct gaze, her hair arranged in a structured updo. She wears a dark dress with a textured shawl or wrap and a high ruffled collar accented by a central decorative element at the throat. The image is presented within a rounded rectangular opening on a plain mount, with soft studio lighting and a neutral background emphasizing facial detail and clothing texture.

The reverse shows two baseball players in period uniforms, one holding a bat and the other in a catching pose, with curved decorative text reading “Dawson” and “Boston.” The typography is ornate and integrated into the illustration, suggesting a commercial or promotional card reused for mounting the tintype. The contrast between the formal portrait and printed sporting imagery reflects a vernacular reuse of available materials.
