FYI - I just bought a cool, original full Harpers newspaper on eBay from 1869 that has the Red Stockings team picture sketched in.
Will be a fun display piece in my HOF collection -

CDV stands for a Carte de visite type of photo.

The term Woodcut refers to a woodcut print, and/or the process used to create the image that is then printed in books, magazines, etc. It is typically how they created the type of Red Stockings team image you mentioned getting in the 1869 Harper's Weekly you got. By the way, what is the date of the Harper's Weekly edition you got? The one I have, and the image in the /earlier link I posted, are from the same 7/3/1869 Harper's Weekly edition.
