![[John Smith, alias Buckhorse.]](jpegs/50610.jpg)
[John Smith, alias Buckhorse.]
[after Daniel Dodd.]
Published by J. McGowan, Great Windmill Street, 1825 [but 1826].
Stipple. 160 x 100mm (6¼ x 4"), large margins.
Half-length portrait of John Smith, a.k.a. Buckhorse (boxer, fl.1720-50), adapted from the portrait by Daniel Dodd. He earned his nickname riding for the Duke of Queensberry, the inveterate gambler. In later life, for a few shillings Buckhorse would allow people to punch him in the head as hard as they could, so such a blow became known as a 'Buckhorse'. Probably as a result of these blows, a common expression of the period was 'as ugly as Buckhorse'. From John Badcock's 'The Fancy; or The True Sportsman’s Guide: Being Authentic Memoirs of the Lives, Actions, Prowess, and Battles of the Leading Pugilists, from the Days of Figg and Broughton, to the Championship of Ward. By an Operator'.
