EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Bobby Wallace with Ball In Hand, St. Louis Al (Baseball), 1913," captures the intense focus and determination of baseball player Bobby Wallace as he prepares to pitch for the St. Louis American League team. The image, created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, showcases Wallace in a moment of stillness amidst the chaos of the game. Bobby Wallace, born Roderick John Wallace, was an accomplished baseball player and manager in the early 20th century. He began his professional baseball career in the Negro Leagues in the late 1890s and went on to manage several teams in the American League, including the St. Louis Giants and the St. Louis Stars. The photograph was taken during the 1913 season, a time when baseball was gaining popularity in America and racial segregation was still prevalent in the sport. Despite the challenges faced by African American players, Wallace and others continued to excel on the field, paving the way for future generations of black baseball players. The photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a prominent photography studio based in Washington D.C. The studio was founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze in 1902 and became known for its high-quality glass negatives and innovative techniques. The studio's photographs were widely distributed through various media outlets, including newspapers and magazines, making Wallace's image a visual representation of the talent and achievement of African American baseball players during this era. Today, this photograph is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, a testament to the rich history of baseball and the contributions of African American players like Bobby Wallace.
