Just in case you run into issues with the wood cuts, here is an image of the 1877 Harvard nine. This image shows James Tyng, the man who wore the first catcher's mask, and Fred Thayer, the man who designed it. This was really the beginning of protective equipment in baseball which was followed over the years of the 19th century by other catching equipment and gloves for all positions.
