[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 456144, member: 56"]Once again, I didn't see all the pictures. The scene pre-dates Lucas. I searched Google Images, keywords only, for the second line of text, "Grand Match for the Championship at the Elysian Fields Hoboken". Lots of images show up. I have not previously encountered a Lucas copy of someone else's print, but for all I know there could be hundreds. Being Lucas, it's probably a colored etching - rotogravure. You can see in the photo that the "plate mark" is an embossed line added for effect. It won't have Currier and Ives value, but the Lucas moniker shouldn't hurt. A curiosity at least. Ought to be worth more than the Walmart repros.[/QUOTE]
