HARPERS WEEKLY, New York, November 3, 1866
* Lipman Pike - 1st Jewish professional baseball player
Inside has a full page portrait: The Atlantic Base-Ball Club, And The Athletic Of Philadelphia. Great for display. One of the members of the 1866 Athletics was a famous Jewish ball player named Lipman Pike. Some sources say that Pike was baseball's first professional player, as well as the game's first home run champion. The website for the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame has a portrait of Pike, and there is a distinct possibility that one of the individuals in the aforementioned portrait is Pike (second row, third from the right).
There is a brief article relating to the print on a following page.
Other prints in this issue as well including a nice illustration of 'Uncle Tom' on the front page.
Sixteen pages, nice condition.
