Description: Pugilism - three [x3] large hand-coloured and mounted engravings of famous early 19th century boxers: 'Reuben Martin, born at Bristol, 1801; stands 5ft 9½in, weighs 11st., 4lbs.', 'Joshua Hudson, aged 23, height 5ft 8inch, weighs 11st. 4lbs.', and 'Richard Curtis, aged 21 years of age, about 5 feet 6 inches in height and weighs 9 stone'. A total of three [x3] engraved plates, each with hand-colouring. Lettering in lower margins. In new mounts. Size: mounts are approx. 61.5cm x 47.5cm / engravings (visible area) are approx. 42.5cm x 30cm. Condition: nicely preserved overall. Martin with light foxing in the sky area and two minor dints to the lower margin. We presume these hand-coloured engravings are modern restrikes from the original plates. S. W. Fores of Piccadilly is shown as the original printed in the lower margin (one dated 1820 and another 1827). Gallery images are of the actual item and show general condition.
