I would assume it's not from a book, but is its own illustration. |

Julie, ya need to chill a bit. Just because there is a huge knowledge base here doesn't mean that between everyone here everything is known. Some times there are going to be things posted where people just don't have a clue, thus, the lack of responses. Also, not everyone reads the board daily, so responses may be slow in coming. |

Barry Sloate fixes the date as "very early--probably 1840" (Mark Macrae had said 1840-60), and says "if the bat seems even--if you can tell--it's probably baseball; otherwise, it's probably townball. Drawing may not be detailed enough to get this kind of information. |

Just wondering what the actual dimensions of this item are and if you could post a scan of the reverse if it is not blank backed (with the consent of the scan-posting monitors of course). |

The back is blank, except for a cursive name, written in pencil--probably the teacher's. I wonder why the teacher didn't sign on the appropriate line in front? The PENCIL looks the same as the pencil that wrote the pupil's name on the front--otherwise, it could simply be the name of a subsequent owner (no, it doesn't say "Scott Forrest!) |
