Spectacular woodcut featuring Hall of Famer George Wright measuring about 4 1/2" x 8" in the giant Beckett holder dating to the 1879-80 issues of the New York Clipper. While woodcuts have varying degrees of popularity and demand in the hobby this example is an outstanding piece one of few items in the hobby that features George Wright alone outside the context of a team. Images featuring Wright are extremely valuable and in high demand; while woodcuts are often considered common this is the first example of this that we have seen. Encapsulated by Beckett.
