About This Design
WORLD CHAMPION BOXERS 1885 POSTER
PUGILIST World Champions 1885.
Here, John L. Sullivan, the Fighting Irishman, Paddy Ryan and other noteable fighters of the era promote LISTON's Beef Extract. At the bottom right, Sullivan and Ryan make statements about how good the product has been, along with their signatures.
Boxing of that era was relatively gruelling and brutal compared to today.
Sullivan claimed the title of heavyweight champion of American in 1882 against Paddy Ryan after stopping him in nine rounds.
Afterwards, Ryan said, "When Sullivan hit me, I thought a telegraph pole had been shoved against me endways."
Many fighters were of Irish descent. A tribute to the grit and determination of the Irish.
Online are many colourful biographies of the men displayed in this piece. I recommend you read about them. For example: search Harry Hill boxing.

I like the design features on the website. They enable the fitting of a good quality Print to an existing frame.
This Print was of excellent quality. I would buy again.
One small gripe is that the image was not centred horizontally (about 3mm out) so needed trimming. No great hardship and may have been my fault in the setting-up.
Next time, I would choose to set the text below the picture to a smaller font.
Overall - Thank You! Looks good in its frame - Just as expected. I had a very expensive Gallery print of this before. It got damaged - hence the replacement. It compares very well.
