Item # 722351

July 27, 1878

HARPER'S WEEKLY, New York, July 27, 1878 

* "Blackville" baseball scene
* Famous Thomas Nast print


Perhaps the most notable print is the very nice full page illustration: "Baseball at Blackville -- The 'White Stockings' Against the 'Black Legs' -- First Blood for the 'Black Legs.' " being a cartoonish illustration showing African-Americans playing baseball.
A wealth of other, unrelated prints as can be seen in our web listing 174264.
Complete in 16 pages, very nice condition.
