HARPER'S WEEKLY, New York, September 20, 1873
* Winslow Homer's most famous print
* Great for framing
* SNAP-THE-WHIP
This issue has a double page centerfold titled: "
Snap The Whip
" done by famed artist Winslow Homer.
This print, considered by many to be the most desirable illustrations done by Homer to appear in
Harper's Weekly--and arguably the most desired issue from the 60 year run of the newspaper--features
several young boys playing snap-the-whip in a schoolyard.
Very nice, clean condition, sewn-in centerfold with 5 quite tiny binding holes which are almost unnoticeable
(one fully in the upper margin, with three of the other four blending in nicely with the image itself).
A great display item. Another page has a brief article about the illustration, and a related poem (see images).
