Going to post a few more and repost the Baseball Match at Elysian Fields Hoboken, It was published October 15th 1859 pages 664-665 in Harpers weekly. It is the oldest baseball item I own. Also a great woodcut of Ewing sliding Flint catching. The artist did his homework trying his best to get the uniform colors correct. The Boston as discussed earlier was reissued later and I believe that it was water-colored as opposed to drawn striking image. And the uncolored version of the Atlantic's of Brooklyn and the Athletics's of Phila. A game of Baseball in Thirteenth regiment armory. And the new home of the NY Metropolitan's on Staten Island.
