Framed to a finished size of 26" x 20" this beautiful woodcut was published in Harper's Weekly in 1885 depicting New York's Buck Ewing sliding in ahead of Chicago White Stockings catcher Silver Flint. The illustration depicts a game that occurred on Thursday August 6 in New York a 1-0 win for the New York team. Ewing as noted in the title is scoring the winning run ahead of Flint's tag as the umpire looks on. Beautifully colored the well-known woodcut makes a wonderful display.
