			My picker buddy brought me this today. Its not a Harper's..is it a newspaper premium? Drawn by Thulstrup, game at Polo Grounds, Aug 6 1885. Any opinions?

			August 22nd 1885 Harper's..  If you take it out of the mat, the issue and page information should be to the left.  Beautiful Piece.

			Yes, that is a Harpers woodcut that has been hand colored.  Beautuiful piece.  Do you know what he had to give for it, or what he is asking?

			With the frame and matting, I think that is a great buy.

			Agreed.  With the frame and matting, that's probably a steal.  I've seen that one a few times at $150 or more.  Unframed.

			Agree on that being a great buy. Here are a couple of shots of mine -- it has the same hand coloring.

			These are great pieces...thanks for sharing! These woodcuts are very underrated imo and as a result can be purchased at very reasonable prices. I have a majority of the Harper's weekly but very limited ones that are colored. Here's my favorite.

			Great piece Keith...you don't see the colored woodcuts too often...at $50, I'd think he did well.
