The 1878 "Second Foot Ball Eleven" , 6"x 8" albumin, players identified on mat.
The 1879 "First Eleven", 6" x 8" albumin, players identified on mat. Both photos belonged to Henry D. Barry (pictured in both). On the back of this photo in script it says that "Barry, 29 Prospect" paid "$1.25" for this photo, "framed". PAA was a feeder school for the Ivy League, and Yale in particular.
It is very difficult to find football photos from the 1870s, and these two are nice examples.
The same as photo above, from 1879, pictured in "Phillips Academy Andover: On Diamond, Track and Field"
