interesting...humm..the illustration is a well know image. It is the Currier & Ives work entitled
"The American National Game of Baseball"...google the american national game of baseball and you will see many versions.
"The most famous, and the most sought-after baseball print, is the Currier & Ives print "The American National Game of Baseball. The Grand Match for the Championship at the Elysian Fields, Hoboken, N.J." Issued in 1866 shortly after the Civil War, this is a terrific, large folio print showing a championship game in 1865, between the Mutual Club of Manhattan and the Atlantic Club of Brooklyn. "
The Currier Ives lithograph is described as 1865 game, yet your Walden illustration says 1858.
