July 28, 1888
HARPER'S  WEEKLY, July 28, 1888  The front page of this issue has one of the best 19th century baseball prints to be found, which shows a batter, catcher & umpire and is captioned: "A Ball Or A Strike--Which?" drawn by T. de Thurstrup. There are also many other prints within this issue including a fullpg: "View of Town & Country in Honduras'", a halfpg: '"Shipping Watermelons by Rail from Atlanta, Georgia"  & fullpg: "Immigrants Waiting to be distributed in the Coal Regions of Penna." The Supplement issue has a great doublepage centerfold: "City of Rochester & Its Notable Buildings" and includes a great view of the city. More. There is some very light damp staining to the bottom one-third of the front leaf, with almost no such staining on the inside leaves. Generally in quite nice condition and an ideal issue for display with this great baseball print. 16 pages.
