There is a list of names of the players on this team but which one is which is a mystery. The unidentified players are: John Price, John Oliver, Joe Oliver, Tice Hamilton, Archie McMahon, Mattie O'Brien, Folkert Boerum, Seinsoth(?), and W. Hawkhurst/Hawkshurst/Hawxhurst. If anyone knows who is who or maybe has a good guess I would appreciate it.

A year later I found this update posted by Craig from Threads of Our Game, published in October 2024. Apparently the image is actually from 1859 and this is a list of player names, which was discovered after someone found a newspaper from years after the fact, 1909 to be exact that provided a list of names to match the faces. So here it is, the 1859 Brooklyn Atlantics.
