Checklist of 1869-70 Cincinnati Red Stockings images

Thank you for helping with the photos. Also a big thank you for showing the great Hoag image in all its splendor. I had only seen it in the Ellard book. Are they the same, the mount looks like it might be different and yours seems larger? A really great piece!

The mount on this display piece measures about 15" x 24". The central photo of Wright is about 6-1/4" tall and the surrounding portraits are 3-1/4".

The images are the same as the Hoag composite that is in Ellard's book, except that there are only 9 images used instead of 10. The composite in Ellard's book has two images of Wright, one identifying him as a Center Fielder and the other as their Captain. Obviously, they are in a different order also.

Here are the two images to compare.

Great info, thanks.

Not a big deal, but it looks like Charlie Gould's image was reversed in the Ellard book as well.

Kevin- The Gould image looks to be different entirely.

I think that you are right. It was hard for to tell with the image reversed.

Do you think that the small and large images of Harry Wright in the Ellard book are the same?

That one is a little tougher to tell, but I think they are slightly different.
