Exceptional oversized lithographic print memorializing the 1894 bouth between James J. Corbett and Charley Mitchell a three-round bout that resulted in Corbett knocking Mitchell out. The litho measuring 15 x 24 1/2" is copyrighted 1893 so it was likely produced as a promotional piece for the fight. A crease that may have broken the paper entirely is visible across the right edge near Corbett's left arm and the right corners have clipped. Some foxing and wrinkling is also evident though the piece presents extremely well. The entire piece is dry mounted to a cardboard backing and wrapped in cellophane easily removed though we cannot assess the condition of the reverse as a result.
