First time we have ever handled one, let alone six of them. Presented is this collection of 1860s British prints by the well known printmakers Moore & Williams. They are simply beautiful. Each pugilist print is highly detailed, handcolored and of the highest quality. They are literally gorgeous. Each piece in the collection is beautifully framed, matted and make a powerful group, just like the mid-century pugilists they depict. There is real; synergy here, as a collection they are far greater than the sum of their parts. The collection features groundbreaking boxers John C. Heenan, Young Brome, Joe Coburn, Joe Goss, John Broughton and John Caramel. 19x23" overall framed dimensions. Truly regal.
