Nat Hicks 1872?

I've long suspected that the 1870s era Mutuals cabinet photo depicted famous (and infamous) catcher Nat Hicks. I'd like to know what the consensus opinion is though. The primary exemplar we have of Hicks is a woodcut from late in his life. He is also depicted in a scene that is likely embellished about injuries he received to his face but remained resilient towards finishing the game. That woodcut is important because the uniform matches the unknown cabinet photo player closely. I will leave all three for discussion.
