This column of text from Pierce Egan's newspaper "Life in London" is decorated with a woodcut image of a hand wearing a boxing glove, holding a quill and writing, with a boxing match behind. The text is a letter to the editor from James Brannan, offering to fight Harry Green, followed by a similar letter to Mr. Barney Aaron from George Curtis, and a suggestion from "An Admirer of the Art" (Nov. 30, 1824).
