Hey all,
For anyone who is interested, the 1865 Leslies Illustrated Creighton memorial woodcut is up on eBay.

It has been colorized fairly recently, ie. it doesn't appear to be an early coloring. I got in touch with the seller and the woodcut is original. Although the coloring looks more recent, it is striking with the color added. I would guess the recent coloring would affect the value but I think it is still worth $ 250 - $ 300.
