Sean, the 1859 Harper's Weekly woodcut is shown below. It is the subject of an article in Old Cardboard magazine (Issue #7; Spring 2006, p. 32-33). It was originally printed across two pages in Harper's (measuring about 7-1/2 x 21 inches) and is reproduced on a two-page spread in OC at about 80 percent of original size. As stated earlier in this thread, it was the first of about 40 baseball-themed woodcuts printed in Harper's between 1859 and the 1890s. Hope this helps. --Lyman
