1887 Harper's Weekly College Football Cover Lithograph By Frederic Remington.

Description

This front cover of the November 26,1887 edition of Harper's Weekly is a key example of early football lithography.
Always over shadowed by baseball, track and field, boxing, and even golf, football rarely made the sports page,
much less the front cover, of a major publication in its early days.
To make it all the more sweet, the woodcut of
"College Players At Football"
was created by master artist Frederic Remington.
Would be a perfect cover to have matted and framed as one of the earliest football covers made.
Approx. 16" x 11.25"
