Lives and Battles of Famous Black Pugilists (1890).

Lives and Battles of Famous Black Pugilists (1890).

One of the most interesting and important “crossover” boxing books. Stunning cover illustration of Molineaux is set in brilliant color lithography of the period. The book is filled with marvelous engravings by Richard Fox and The Police Gazette, hence the quality and use of existing engravings from their other publications. Book has been slightly trimmed down to fit the binding, cover has a small stain and the title page is incomplete. Otherwise very good.
