Source of these '1894' team composites?

[drcy]

There was a large composite of the Orioles in an 1894 publication (Leslie's Illustrated?), but it's easy to identify because it has text on the back. It was a full page part of the publication, not a supplement.

Hi David, yes I think this is the Leslie's that you are referencing and to your point, it's definitely part of the publication.

Albert, that's an interesting observation regarding the bottom being trimmed. I don't recall the seller but this could be confirmed based on the dimensions and paper stock.

I have this.

Measures 9" by 5 1/2" though I can see that the bottom 1/2" or so has been trimmed off.

Thin stock. Blank back.

Cant recall where I got it or where it came from.

Edit: I believe these are the poses for the unique Alpha Engraving set.

Thanks for confirming the dimensions on yours...they do appear to have come from the same source. That's very interesting regarding the alpha engraving set. I thought those were Baltimore only and I think the NY photos are from the N300 set. But makes me wonder if there ever was a NY set of alpha engravings...doubtful but interesting nonetheless.
