1860 International Contest Between Heenan & Sayers, Framed Color Print 33" x 45"

Description

AMAZING!  April 17, 1860  International Contest Between Heenan & Sayers at Farnborough, Published by George Newbold Framed Color Lithograph Measuring 33" x 45".  Artist W.L. Walton. This is regarding in boxing circles as the 1st World Championship Bout.
Litho by Buford & Sons, Boston.  Overall condition is very good with great colors.  The staining at the top is due to the flash that is not present on the litho.  Heavy creasing in top right portion. T
ear on left side top border area,
approximately 4"
and some staining present.  Some other creasing is present but hard to see due to the coloring of the spectators.
You can see the difference in the lighting in a few of the photos.  The litho is actually more of the lighter/brighter version.  Due to glare and distance, it was very hard to capture the image.
Lithograph is on heavy stock paper and very impressive in person vs. my images.
***Shipping is high due to the size of the box necessary. If you are closer and the shipping charges are cheaper, I will refund the difference.  The oversized shipping
rates
at Fed Ex and UPS are totally ridiculous.  I just shipped from Indiana to New Orleans a similar size box and it was 6.
