Very nice, Bill
Goes well with that Athletic Sports book.

Thanks Bruce, I have enjoyed the book.

I like that one, a lot.

Bill, I'm glad to see that you got it framed..looks great!

Awesome piece, Bill!

I believe this is a woodcut (not mine, but thought this would be a good place for the image), the 1888 Jersey City Ball Club Supplement to the Sporting News. Would love to see a better (bigger) image of it if anyone has one please.


.

Thanks Bruce, Doug, George and Phil. Here are a couple more that, while may not be quite as significant, I think are pretty cool.

I have both of those framed and hanging in my living room...

Kindred Minds...Yep

It's a supplement to the Sporting TIMES, not the News...

Thank you very much for the correction!

Would love to see some more non Harpers or Leslies woodcuts. Anyone?

Leslies 1891 Cap Anson
 

Most of my Leslie’s are civil war and historic deaths like Lincoln and Napoleon. I got a few more in storage I will pull out. Also have some Scientific American stuff that's neat.

1897 Scientific American
 

Curve ball gun. Unfortunately its just a cutting. The paper also had a baseball cannon illustration.

Here's one from The Graphic April 18, 1874 and I also collect some cricket stuff so a woodcut from The Illustrated London New May 12, 1849

Very nice Doug!

These are really cool looking. Thanks for sharing, guys.

This cdv came out about the same time as the earlier woodcuts did. I have no woodcuts at the moment. :(

Here is the full page :

Evolution of pitching
 

Not a wood cutting, but 1892 article about pitching. Talks about pitching angles, curve balls & strategy.

1882 Chicago
 

King & Cap

Thank you ebay (even though I paid too much).

That's cool Adam, how big is it?
