harpers question

Posted By: warshawlaw

It is a lot bigger than I thought--more like newspaper sized.

The cover is detached from the mag and the sheet with the baseball image is unbound but intact, so I guess there is no issue with regard to separating the image bearing sheet from the whole publication.

It is one heck of an engraving. Dated June 27, 1874, it shows the Boston champions and includes O'Rourke, Spaulding, both Wrights, McVey and several other players in bib unis with old time equipment scattered around. It says the engraving is based on a photo by J.W. Black. The text story on the next page discussed the upcoming trip to England by the Boston and Philadelphia teams, which Spaulding organized.

Well worth the $50 I paid, I think...and my oldest baseball collectible. I suspect it will end up sandwiched between two pieces of UV coated plexi to preserve it.
