It turns out that many Brown teams had their photograph taken by Horton Bros., in Providence, Rhode Island. The identical painted background (as seen in this photo) was utilized in many of these photos from the mid 1890s. A number of those pictured in this photo went on to play with the varsity football team.
Measuring 6 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches.
Another Horton Bros. photo taken in 1895 of the 1899 Brown Freshman football team. This photo has the owner and team roster identified on the reverse. Photo measures approximately 8 1/4" x 6 1/4".
