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 hung this in the stairwell of our house, near some other Renoir pictures. My daughter says it looks like she is looking at her when she walks up the stairs.
it's called "The Excursionist", she is holding a walking stick. Renoir was an impressionist, I don't think this is an actual person. The finished framed picture arrived and looks better than the online pic - Beautiful!

Absolutely superb Art Deco poster. The colours are vibrant, sympathetic to the era and perfect for use. I framed it and hung above the entrance to my Art Deco inspired lounge room. Stunning! The print is precise, clear and of an excellent standard. It was cleverly packaged so there wasn’t a blemish or crease. Perfect!
