Checklist of 1869-70 Cincinnati Red Stockings images

[aquarius31]

Great research and images! For the woodcuts, I'm not aware of any others depicting the 1869 Red Stockings although new discoveries come up every once in a while (likely from more obscure publications). As you point out, the Days Doings print is the same as the November 1866 Leslie's issue which instead shows the Atlantics vs Athletics. There are some later Red Stockings images but not from 1869-1870.

This is always been my favorite 1869 Reds image - a composite with images by Hoag of Cincinnati.

Thank you for helping with the photos. Also a big thank you for showing the great Hoag image in all its splendor. I had only seen it in the Ellard book. Are they the same, the mount looks like it might be different and yours seems larger? A really great piece!

The mount on this display piece measures about 15" x 24". The central photo of Wright is about 6-1/4" tall and the surrounding portraits are 3-1/4".

The images are the same as the Hoag composite that is in Ellard's book, except that there are only 9 images used instead of 10. The composite in Ellard's book has two images of Wright, one identifying him as a Center Fielder and the other as their Captain. Obviously, they are in a different order also.

Here are the two images to compare.
