Default 1859 Harper's Woodcuts

Posted By: Frank Wakefield

Opening of the Base-Ball Season of 1890, May 3, 1890. It is actually 4 pages. It has 28 woodcuts of players, and a comic woodcut, a generic woodcut, all about Base Ball, team rosters... I think at least 8 Hall of Famers are depicted. And Roger Conner is on there, I guess I should have scanned that for the other thread.

A neat thing about the Harper's Weekly woodcuts is that the paper is of good quality, it holds up much better than newsprint that is half as old.
