The miniatures Harper's baseball woodcuts must have been reprints. As Rick noted in this thread, Harper's were reprinted at some point. As Barry noted, an original particular Harper's woodcut print is constant in size. The original wood printing blocks were hand carved, and you couldn't easily resize a picture like you could in the 1900s. To get a smaller version you'd have to have the craftsman carve a smaller image on a new block of wood.
Addressing Frank's topic, I haven't seen Harper's from every year so I don't know whether or not there were sizing variations over the years. It was printed for decades, so perhaps there were variations.
