We had pretty much ruled the player you have attached out as the major leaguer as there were several similarly named players in the Boston area playing at the same time. Chickazoola did the following research several years ago:

Since multiple notes have Quinlan being from Marlboro, I am hesitant to definitively ID the Lovell Arms player as Quinlan. There is a Quinlan who regularly plays the outfield for Lovell Arms in 1890 and a Quinlan for the Marlboros all year as well.

So not ruling it out, but I don't think the Lovell Arms woodcut as lovely as it is, features our guy. On the plus side, Frank Quinlan did play in the minors in New England for a few years, including a full season with Pawtucket in 1892, so he wasn't just just some scrub emergency replacement, but an actual prospect. He may yet be in a team photo.
