1895 albumen photo mounted on heavy stock, showing a parade of participants of an August 16, 1895 Baseball game between the Bloomer Girls and Seaside Maidens. All of this info penciled on the back, presumably by the Photographer G. W. Morgan who was apparently photographing local events and selling photo. At the top of the back is printed Views Harriman & Vicinity. This would be George W. Morgan who was a Photographer in Harriman, Tennessee at the turn of the last century. At this time there were many Bloomer Girls Baseball teams across the country, however upon close examination, these participants are all young men in skirts and bloomers! One holds a bat, while another has his glove in view. Also seen in the picture is the Harriman Cornet Band and a fine view of Mrs. Watkins Millinery. Quite an interesting piece, condition not withstanding.
