Harry Wright Harper's Wood Engravings

[Archive]

Posted By: T206Collector

I picked these three up at an antique show today. They cost me a pretty penny, but they were in full pages and in pretty amazing condition for their age. The "Presentation of a Champion Bat" is from July 24, 1869. The bat has H. Wright's name reflected on the top.

The Providence Baseball Club image is from September 30, 1882. It features Manager Harry Wright, George Wright, Charles Radbourn, J. M. Ward and others.

The Metropolitan Base-Ball Nine is from August 5, 1882. I don't recognize any of the names.

Any body have any idea how much these are worth? Thanks!

The prices are all over the place, and they are probably undervalued anyway. A single sale price quote doesn't mean much.

(Below is a detail of a 1874 Philadelphia A's team woodcut showing a baby faced 21 year old Cap Anson. Below that is the complete print)

cheapest (14.95--got it from an art studio on eBay--same Providence one pictured above))(cropped):


Most expensive $250 "Baseball Champions of 1885"--individual portraits on a huge page).


Part of the Ewing 1889 cover: (a little more than $100)


I've got 9 or 10 of them--I really like them a lot.
