graphic request: 1895 Mayo's Cut Plug of Tommy McCarthy

[Archive]

Posted By: Howard W. Rosenberg

I am putting the finishing touches on my third Cap Anson book and just noticed that I have merely the reprint of the Tommy McCarthy card (which has an ugly dot pattern when scanned). If anyone owns a true Mayo's Cut Plug of McCarthy, can you scan it at 300 dpi and e-mail it to me? If you have merely a second-hand scan at as small as 72 dpi I could still use it if the focus is sharp.

Thanks for your possible help. Feel free to call me at (703) 841-9523 or e-mail me at howieanson@yahoo.com. I would be glad to humor you with stories about the 19th century, if you like to be humored.

Wow! That's a wrap (to arbitrarily pick a word of the week). The image will no doubt suffice (especially since I won't be blowing it up). By the way, McCarthy's claim to fame (in the annals to date of my Cap Anson books) is. . .

A year after Mike Kelly's death, in late 1895, he had a life-size portrait of Kelly in his office in his billiard room and cafe (co-owned by Hugh Duffy).
