The Art of Boxing Illustrated and Improved by Humphreys Mendoza, &c.
Pub.d by C. Johnson [n.d., 1793.]
Scarce engraving. Sheet 165 x 200mm (6½ x 8"). Trimmed, losing sur-title, folds, some restoration.
An image of two bare-knuckle boxers in a ring (marked H for Richard Humphries and M for Daniel Mendoza) with their seconds, one of four bouts between the pair between 1787 and 1790. The title refers to Mendoza's book on the science of boxing, from the 1792 O'Leary publication of The Art of Boxing, by Daniel Mendoza. Mendoza (1765-1836) was born in Whitechapel of Sephardic Jewish parents. Pierce Egan, the author of Boxiana, wrote "No pugilist whatever, since the time of Broughton (or even Broughton himself), has ever so completely elucidated, or promulgated, the principles of boxing as Daniel Mendoza".
