Desirable baseball issue... Cricket...



Item # 683403

October 15, 1859

HARPER'S WEEKLY, New York, Oct. 15, 1859  Half of the double page centerfold is a terrific illustration of: 'A Base Ball Match at the Elysian Fields, Hoboken' showing a game in progress. A very displayable print, showing almost the entire field. The other half shows a cricket match.
The frontpage shows: "A German Beer Garden in N.Y. City on Sunday Eve." Nice full page: "The English Cricketers--the Eleven of All England".  
Sixteen pages, just a bit of foxing, very nice condition.

Item from Catalog 341 (released for April, 2024)
