On the same subject, I am interested in images of the aforementioned McGraw, Robinson and Williams (an earlier post seems to have established that an image of Williams with the O's is in reality Williams with the Highlanders), and also Cy Seymour and Harry Howell with the 1901 or 1902 O's. There are some floating around variously indicating them with the Orioles, but they always seem to be the 1890s version of the team. Thanks!

The posted photo is definitely NOT the 1901 (or 1902) Orioles. It is the Eastern League team, probably from 1910 or later (when the no-collar uniforms became popular).
Here are some images of McGraw and Robinson with the AL Orioles and one of the whole team in 1901:
