19th Century Woodcut Collection, with rare h-o-famers, teams--reduced--
13 lots of Harper's/Woodcuts + Bonus [See post #13 below] for $600. Or, individually priced; see below.
The 13 include woodcuts of a couple of dozen hall-of-famers, including Harry and George Wright, 1869 Red Stockings - the first professional championship team (includes the entire publication), Philadelphia, Chicago, St. Louis, and Toronto teams, and many more. All but one are from Harper's Weekly, 1869-1890's, and are unattached in plastic sleeves, on mounting boards, as I received them. Large as they are, they are difficult to package, so I'd prefer to sell them as one group. But if you'd like a particular team or player[s], individual prices are listed below I bought these from Moushi in 2019-2020. Thanks to him for his research and his scans [I'm pretty much of a dinosaur on the computer and I've been unable to scan them myself]. Here's the original thread, including some scans and his nine minute youtube presentation, which shows them all: https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=279344 First come, first served. "I'll take it" trumps any other negotiations. Ppff or pay by check. Regular paypal, buyer pays fee. Here's a detailed list of the 13. Scans can be seen on the above-mentioned youtube thread: Harper's Weekly, Vol. XIII.--No. 653, New York, Saturday, July 3, 1869: Entire issue, featuring "The Picked Nine of the 'Red Stocking' Base-Ball Club, Cincinnati. Ohio," p. 421. This is an iconic woodcut of the first professional championship team, undefeated at 57-0, the 1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings, covering the top half of the page. $175. Harper's Weekly, July 25, 1874, p. 624, "... The Philadelphia Athletics," Full-page woodcuts of nine individual players, featuring J. D. McBride, Civil War veteran, and a young Cap Anson, batting. $110. Harper's Weekly, September 12, 1874, p. 761, "The Maple-Leaf Base-ball Club of Guelph, Ontario, Canada," Team of ten woodcut, covering top half of page. $100. Harper's Weekly, August 5, 1882, p. 493, featuring "The Metropolitan Base-ball Nine," 12 NY, N players. $100. Harper's Weekly, September 30, 1882, p. 621, featuring "The Providence Base-Ball Club," with Harry and George Wright, Charles Radbourne, and J. M. Ward. $110. Harper's Weekly, Vol. XXVII.--No. 1381, June 9. 1883, p. 364, "Base-Ball of the Future." Full-page fantasy with players on horseback. Doubles of this one. $40 each; $60 for the pair. Harper's Weekly, Vol. XXXII.--No. 1662, August 27 1888, p.820, featuring full-figured woodcuts of Charles Comiskey and W.A. Latham on bottom half of page. Doubles of this one. $100 each. Harper's Weekly, Vol. XXXII.--No. 1649, New York, Saturday, July 28, 1888, featuring "A Ball or a Strike, Which?" Front-page woodcut of batter, catcher, umpire, with dugout and stands in background. Classic, would look great in frame. $120. Harper's Weekly, October 20, 1888, p. 793, "The Winning Battery of the New York Baseball Club," featuring full-length woodcuts of Tim Keefe and Buck Ewing, covering bottom half of page. Doubles of this one. $100 each. Harper's Weekly, package of 18 pages compiled from the 1890's featuring photos of Collegiate baseball. $50. Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, May 23, 1885, p.221: "... Sketches at the Polo Grounds during the League Championship Game between the New York and Detroit Clubs ..." These are six detailed sketches from the stands, of fans, including a policeman chasing boys on a fence, boys on a tree behind it. Great artwork. $100. As I mentioned, the full page [16"x11"], on cardboard fitted in a plastic sleeve, is difficult to package and expensive to mail. If you don't mind it folded in half [I think I can do this without creasing the fold], you can knock off $10 from the individual price, as it's easier to package and less expensive to send.

Looking for a bargain?
Further reduction.
Some beautiful stuff worth framing, including two front pages, featuring Ewing in catching gear, and a classic batting pose. Last edited by dougscats; 05-21-2020 at 06:05 AM. |

Bonus
Updates: Price has been lowered to $600. Also,
I am adding a bonus woodcut from Harper's, page 185, March 8, 1890, featuring "A Game of Base-Ball in the Thirteenth Regiment Armory, Brooklyn," which covers half the page and is a good depiction of batter and catcher close up, with the pitcher and team in the field, and the Armory grandstands. It has a 3"x3" piece of transparent tape on it which doesn't detract from the image. This one I tried to scan, as it's folded in half to fit in a binder page. But the 2.5 MB jpg upload failed, for what reason I don't know. I'm pretty much a dinosaur on the computer and am unable to scan the other pages, so the Mouchi scans and youtube presentation will have to do. |
