Obtained this original Aug 15, 1874 London Illustrated woodcut depicting the game between Boston and Phila. during their World Tour. The woodcut is hand-colored which I like. I believe these may be a little scarcer than the Harper's woodcuts.

Very nice Joe. Yes, I agree that the Illustrated London News woodcut is scarcer than the Harper's equivalent. Harper's had nearly 80 baseball woodcuts while ILN only had 2 that I'm aware of...this being one of them. And I guess this is obvious but in general Harper's are more accessible in US vs UK publications such as ILN.
