Statistics and quote by respective artist printed on card verso, in black: "Height: 6’ 3”/ Weight:190 / Born: Mass. / Home: Albuquerque, N.M. / Throws: Neither, I’m umpire / Bats: “ FP: “/ FC: the latest FF: “ / FD: / FPh: The best / Beaumont Newhall / A NY inventor has devised a magazine / camera in which the plates can be de- / veloped automatically, as they are / exposed. This is very good, but would / it not be an improvement if it was al- / so supplied with a powerful and enter- / prising motor? Then it would only be / necessary to wind it up and start it / off on a photographic trip all by it- / self, while its enthusiastic owner / could await in comfort under his fig / tree the triumphal return of the gift- / ed camera bearing a dozen phenomenal / negatives, all ready for filing in / some handy ask barrel for future ref- / erence. --Photo American, Dec. 1895”"
