Famous fights at the stadium
A 1914 boxing book published in Sydney by the Platypus Press, catalogued under boxing and held by the Smithsonian Libraries, apparently written as a record of famous stadium bouts. Its pictures are halftone photographs of boxers in training and fighting stances on plain backdrops, with one loose pen-and-ink caricature of a boxer lunging with a glove, showing sporty poses and simple shadows a designer could borrow for athletic or vintage sports graphics.
