Jack Johnson, Cribb and Molineaux Boxing Collection. England, nineteenth century to 1910. A collection of prints and periodicals documenting the famous fights for the English heavyweight championship between freed American slave, Tom Molineaux and Englishman Tom Cribb, as well as a real photo postcard ca. 1910, of Jack Johnson, the heavyweight champion of the world, in a stance resembling that of Molineaux. Collection includes two issues of “Famous Fights” magazine, each featuring on their cover one of the two fights, a period engraving of Molineaux, and a modern linocut depicting the boxers. Good to very good.
