1866. wITH A FULL PAGE PORTRAIT OF THE ATLANTIC BASEBALL cLUB HARPER'S WEEKLY, A Journal of Civilization. Volume X, No. 471-522 (January 6 - December 29). For the Year 1866. New York: Harper & Brothers, 1866. Folio. (iv),832 pp. A wood-engraved title-page and an index for the entire year precede the weekly issues. Although the news coverage is dominated by the American Civil War, one of the more interesting events unrelated to the war is the laying of the first trans-Atlantic cable. Several issues contain illustrations by Thomas Nast, including the large double-page "Santa Claus and His Works" in the final issue. In addition there is a full page portrait of the Atlantic Baseball Club. The individual issues are sewn together. The original cloth-covered boards (blocked in blind, with gilt-stamped title to upper board) are present, but are worn, soiled, and detached; the backstrip is mostly missing. The paper is lightly age-browned, as usual, and mostly clean, with only occasional, very light foxing. A complete year of this illustrated periodical, it is offered as is.
