HARPER'S WEEKLY, New York, Oct. 26, 1867
* Great baseball illustration print
* Union of Morrisania champions
The most significant print in the issue is a nice, nearly half page print captioned: "The Champion Nine of the Union Base-Ball Club of Morrisania, New York" showing nine members of the baseball team in uniform, two members holding bats and another what appears to be a catcher's mask. There is a related article titled: "The Base-Ball Championship" on the facing page.
The front page shows: "The Music of the Street--The Organ Grinder". Other prints within including: "National Cemetery at Fredericksburg, Virginia, "Laying the Cornerstone of the Soldiers' Monument at Hampton, Virginia" "The Suez Canal..." "Farragut's Flagship--parting of the Vessels of the U.S. Squadron Off Skagen Point, Jutland, Denmark", a nice full page: "Gathering Grapes--An October Scene on the Hudson" facing another nice full page: "Gathering Pumpkins--An October Scene in New England", "Mrs. Lincoln's Wardrobe on Exhibition in new York" "The Seal Rocks & Cliff House near San Francisco, California" "San Francisco and Its Outer Harbor, Looking Toward the Golden Gate".
Sixteen pages, never bound nor trimmed so it folds out to one large sheet (just as sold on the streets), nice condition.
