Default graphics request: Tener Old Judge, 1883 H. Weekly BB grounds

Posted By: Howard W. Rosenberg

Good morning. I've been writing a series in books that in some way relate to Cap Anson and have gotten some neat help on graphics (usually scanned at 300 dpi), for which I am grateful. There are two images that continue to elude me:

1. a John Tener Old Judge card (preferably the image I've attached or something close to it). The attached image is 72 dpi and lacks strong contrast between his face and the background.

2. a Harper's Weekly 1883 graphic of the Chicago grounds. It's on the magazine’s Web site but with a so-called moire pattern.

I've attached images of both; I have a digital camera scan of the Harper's Weekly graphic, but would rather have a scanner scan.

If you've got a favorite 19th-century player, let me know and I can try to amuse you with stories I've come across.

Thanks for your possible help.
