HARPER'S WEEKLY, New York, May 16, 1885 The entire front page shows: 'Vesuvius In Eruption'. The prime print would be the full page captioned: "Champion Baseball Players" showing portraits of twelve players from various baseball teams, including James O'Rourke, John Ward, Joseph Hornung, William Ewing, and others.
Among other prints in the issue are: "The Twelfth Regiment Armory" "The President At Gettysburg" "A Stock Farm of Thorough-Breds in Kentucky" and "The New Board of Trade in Chicago".
Sixteen page, never bound nor trimmed, some loss at some blank margins not affecting prints, generally nice.
