 A collection of two (2) late 1800s original cabinet cards of Canadian black boxer George "Little Chocolate" Dixon. Dixon, who had a career which spanned from 1886 to 1906, was both world bantamweight and featherweight champion, and in fact was the first ever black fighter to hold a world title. He was a boxing innovator and is credited with developing and inventing many modern boxing training techniques including the art of shadowboxing. He is a Ring Magazine Hall of Fame member and an International Boxing Hall of Fame Member. The cards measure 6.5x4.5". One (1) card is marked Webster & Albee and is in GD condition, the other is unmarked and is in FR condition with a large thumb tack hole. A great pair of early cabinet cards.
