A fine etching from Hayes's 'Rare and Curious Birds Accurately Drawn and Coloured from Their Specimens in the Menagerie at Osterly Park', first edition. Hayes (1735-1802), a self-taught artist who had illustrated 'A Natural History of British Birds' in 1775, was commissioned to record the collection of live birds belonging to Robert and Sarah Child, the owners of Osterley. It was a family affair: he employed at least seven of his children as etchers, colourists and binders. The volumes were assembled when they were ordered, with the contents varying because of what has been called 'a production line of unrivalled chaos'. A second, posthumous edition was issued in 1817, 'published for the benefit of his family'.

The founders were John Fleming and A.F. “Peggy” Bettinson, and Hugh Lowther, 5th Earl of Lonsdale was its first president. The club was run under very strict rules regarding both the boxers and the members. Bouts would take place after dinner, before about 1,300 members and guests. The bouts would be fought in silence as no talking was permitted during the rounds. The club built up a great tradition of sportsmanship and fair play. In 1909, the president introduced the Lonsdale Belt as a prize to be awarded to the British champion at each weight. The belts were made from porcelain and twenty-two carat gold.
