Hi All,
For several years, I've been trying to identify some of the more obscure baseball woodcuts related to our national pastime. We're all aware of Harper's and Leslie's but there are a number of publications that had very short runs such as the 1877 NY Sporting Gazette (very limited online info re this publication).

George- Where did the 1877 Chicago lithograph come from? I've never seen it. I have this somewhat similar steel engraving.

Gary,
I think the non-color version is likely a woodcut from an actual publication vs stand-alone based on the toning and dimensions although I'm not 100% certain since I don't have it in hand : ) Last edited by aquarius31; 01-03-2020 at 09:43 PM. |

I agree. It does looks like it is printed on newspaper.

One of my favorites is this 1890 Players League.

George, I have a copy of the baseball pages from the Du Mouchelle catalogue and could not find the listing for the woodcuts. It is possible they appeared in a different section, I no longer have the full catalogue. However, I do believe the Chadwick reference since so many of the items clearly had once belonged to Chadwick.
I have attached photos of an 1876 Peck and Snyder advertiser with numerous woodcuts, or at least I believe they are. I particularly like the George Wright, based upon his Warren cdv,(see his own copy) and, of course, the 1869 Cincinnati team, which is from the Clipper, I think. If you would like to see an 1873 Peck and Snyder catalogue to see if there are any woodcuts, let me know. Do you think the color illustrations are colored woodcuts? |
