HARPER'S WEEKLY, New York, September 24, 1881 The front page is taken up with a print captioned: "At The Window--A Brief Respite in a Weary Struggle" showing President Garfield recovering from being shot (he would die very soon).
The prime print would be the full page print: " A Game Of Lawn Tennis, Staten Island Club Grounds" which shows two men playing tennis. A very nice & early tennis print with a related article on another page headed: "Lawn Tennis".
There are other nice prints in this issue as well, including "The New Harvard Gymnasium" "In the Hop Fields of Central New York" and a full page print: "Opium Smoking in New York" among others.
Complete in 16 pages. Very displayable prints!
