Presented is one of card collecting and nineteenth-century baseball photography's greatest treasures: the extremely rare, significant, and early baseball carte-de-visite picturing the 1864 Brooklyn Resolute B.B.C. in a formal studio pose. This is one of the earliest of all baseball carte-de-visites featuring a team of great significance. In addition to picturing the members of the Resolutes, one of the top clubs of the era, this baseball team card is astounding due to its inclusion of legendary baseball writer Henry Chadwick, who is seen standing to the far right. Chadwick, inventor of the box score, was one of the leading exponents of the National Pastime, and his many contributions to the sport later earned him the title "Father of Baseball."
