Yes, looks like we now have same Harpers edition (is it considered a magazine or a newspaper?)
Once I receive it, now I need to think about how to display it - suggestions welcomed!)

To be clear, I don't have a copy of the entire Harper's edition, or even the entire page, just the image of the Red Stockings team on the top of the one page. Having the entire edition/page is great, IMO.
And as to it being a newspaper or magazine, that is a good question. I'm guessing it is kind of like a weekly magazine that is printed on what we commonly call and consider newspaper.
As for presentation purposes, I would think about possibly framing the entire page with the Red Stockings team image on the top. You could think about cutting the team image off and just framing and displaying it by itself, but I've always been against cutting and taking apart such old/historical items as a Harper's Weekly.
And can't really tell from the image you posted, but is the Red Stockings team image in that Harper's Weekly you're getting colored? Apparently, some of those team images were colored, like the same woodcut image that I posted a link to earlier. Either way, a cool and historical image, and to me, an affordable way to get the playing career images of the Wright brothers you wanted.
