This original, one of a kind, from the camera glass plate negative features a rare very early view of a Highlanders/Yankees game in progress at New York's Hilltop Park circa early 1910s, right around the time that the Highlanders became the Yankees. Measuring 8.5x6.5", the image shows not only a great view of the field but also of the surrounding Upper Manhattan residential area around the park. Another gem unearthed from the extensive Brown Brothers photo collection.
