Chadwick's woodcut collection
Hi All,
For several years, I've been trying to identify some of the more obscure baseball woodcuts related to our national pastime. We're all aware of Harper's and Leslie's but there are a number of publications that had very short runs such as the 1877 NY Sporting Gazette (very limited online info re this publication).

George- Where did the 1877 Chicago lithograph come from? I've never seen it. I have this somewhat similar steel engraving.

Gary,
I think the non-color version is likely a woodcut from an actual publication vs stand-alone based on the toning and dimensions although I'm not 100% certain since I don't have it in hand : ) Last edited by aquarius31; 01-03-2020 at 09:43 PM. |

I agree. It does looks like it is printed on newspaper.

One of my favorites is this 1890 Players League.

George, I have a copy of the baseball pages from the Du Mouchelle catalogue and could not find the listing for the woodcuts. It is possible they appeared in a different section, I no longer have the full catalogue. However, I do believe the Chadwick reference since so many of the items clearly had once belonged to Chadwick.
I have attached photos of an 1876 Peck and Snyder advertiser with numerous woodcuts, or at least I believe they are. I particularly like the George Wright, based upon his Warren cdv,(see his own copy) and, of course, the 1869 Cincinnati team, which is from the Clipper, I think. If you would like to see an 1873 Peck and Snyder catalogue to see if there are any woodcuts, let me know. Do you think the color illustrations are colored woodcuts? |
