Guys, I did not see the original picture from Scott on the resin Harper piece but just picked this one up and curious to see if it's the same one.
I am avid woodcut collector so this piece really caught my attention. It has no dot patterns under magnification and presents like one would expect a woodcut block to present with all the intricate details under magnification. That said, it is not wood and the dimensions are not in line with the 1889 Harper's woodcut so would be hard to believe that it came from the original woodblock.
It appears to be some sort of metal and the color seems to have been applied by hand (best guess based on what I see under magnification). Not sure if this helps or adds more question to this item but would love to get any additional thoughts.
I have a feeling that I could learn a lot more if I took it out of the frame to see what was on the back but don't want to do that just yet.
