N174 Old Judge 'Master Set' checklisting and images

[G1911]

Type 5, the wavy banners. These come in two types, advertising either Old Judge or Gypsy Queen at the bottom. N332 cards, a 'pirated image' issue from S.F. Hess share the same format, but which copied which I am not entirely clear. Probably Hess was the copier. These are common N174's, and they have generally aged better than types 1-3 have.

The rule I have observed is that ff a card exists with one branding, it exists with the other. There is also a card of Oarsman Wallace Ross that is catalogued as an N174. There are numerous actresses which I am also trying to slowly accumulate images of - I think it proper to checklist sets as they actually existed instead of by after-the-fact cut ups.

I believe at present that this set is from some time remove after the 1887 type 1's. These cards borrow heavily from the images and checklist of type 1, but done in a way that suggests to me they redesigned them from scratch, as if the original work had been scrapped by the time these were re-made. One will note that a couple of the cards are not actually the same image, but very similar images to the type 1 cards of that fighter taken from the same session at Wood's studio (Mitchell, if you look at his feet and Sullivan, if you look at his back posture and arm positions). Only Dominick McCaffrey is a new subject, and Mitchell gets only one card this time around. The lack of Dempsey (Chest up) further makes me question whether that truly exists in type 1.

Attaching Gypsy Queen first.
