1882 Harvard Football Collotype Photos

These are examples of early collotype photos.  The process is a little bit different than a lithograph in the sense that the image is developed directly on the thicker paper.  The 1882 team went 7-1 with their only loss coming from the hands of Yale.  The second image is from the players composing the class of 85’.  On the back of the images are the names of the corresponding players.
