Talk to me about Harper's Weekly Wood Cuts

[aquarius31]

Hey Doug,
I don’t have the checklist in hand at the moment but I believe it to be comprehensive for the players, teams, games in progress prints etc. It also includes many of the more general baseball themes. There may be other baseball related prints that are tangentially related such as reference to baseball board games etc but my comments are specific to players and teams.

I’ve found a number of previously undocumented woodcuts in other publications (and I believe there are more) but I’d be surprised/elated if there are Harper related prints that I have previously not seen. Even the supplements are well documented/known to the (small woodcut) collecting world. It’s possible that there were regional editions of Harper’s which came out in limited publication as I believe that to be the case for some of the obscure Leslie’s prints.

It's sitting on the table next to me, the cover I posted is not on the list...

Yes. My comments were specific to teams and or players. I’m skeptical that there are undocumented ones out there.

I agree, but if those are baseball bats, then being on the cover gives them extra credit.

I think they are baseball bats. Good one.

That's a great find! I still get a kick out of ... well ... anything 19th century baseball but especially when it comes to pieces like this that are pre-commercially produced / nationally distributed baseball cards.
