Base-Ball Match Between Athletics & Atlantics October 30, 1865 - Just Framed!
Just finished framing and hanging this one on the wall and thought I'd share. I've always liked this woodcut print from Harper's, especially the guy getting punched in the face (center, bottom). I'm excited to finally get it framed and up on the wall. It's a neat piece of history.

Maybe the area in the lower left corner is where fans could work out there differences.

Beautiful.
I love woodcuts. Edited to add "the fight"... Last edited by doug.goodman; 11-03-2012 at 08:03 PM.

Jason- a little sidebar regarding that print: it was not uncommon in the 1860's for gamblers to be roaming the sidelines of a baseball game. One of the reasons that amateur baseball failed is that the gamblers could actually influence the outcome of games, and fans didn't really trust what they were watching. And gamblers often fought with each other too, right in front of the spectators. A baseball match in 1865 was a real rough and tumble affair!

A Pete Rose ancestor maybe?
Haircut style looks right... Nice print + frame... Good job!
