Striking limited edition artist's book that contrasts the violent world of prize fighting with the measured, clean format of a fine press book. Pulling from scanty historical sources about the identities of prize fighters in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, D. R. Wakefield presents brief biographical vignettes of 14 Jewish prize fighters during a 55-year period. Through the personal stories of the fighters, Wakefield also throws some light on the culture of prize fighting in the period; and through their heavy, deeply-embossed portraits, he almost simulates the impact of a blow. An enthralling production. 15'' x 10.5''. Original red quarter-goatskin binding with paste paper boards, paper title label to front board and gilt spine lettering. Etched frontispiece with 14 etched portraits and a number of smaller etchings throughout. [22] leaves. Signed by Wakefield to colophon, numbered 14 of 55. In original grey cloth clamshell box, with red spine label. Lower edge of spine label with a touch of rubbing. Clean and tight.…
