Very cool, David. I have not seen that one before.

Agree with Phil...very nice pickup and one that I have not seen as well! It's interesting that the Illustrated Americans which do come up tend to be non-woodcuts. This particular one reminds me of the 1885 Champion Baseball Players composite woodcut from Harper's.

Thanks guy. I'll get some better scans up when I get it in hand(the players are Anson, Pfeffer, Baldwin, Ewing, Glasscock, Keefe, Caruthers, Ward, Lovett, Clarkson, Hanlon and Nash)..the other page had one player(king kelly), and an article about the opening of the 1891 season.. I'm hoping they're separate pages(for display purposes), and not back to back.. assuming the page numbering would face the outside of the mag, they should be separate..

Well, it arrived. 2 pages whoooo!!! Have a nice woodcut-like appearance, but not woodcuts. Should look great framed though...Overall, I'm happy..

You're right, Dave, once you hit the 1890's, woodcuts were not encountered that frequently any more, primarily prints were utilized
