WILKES' SPIRIT OF THE TIMES, New York, June 2, 1860 A terrific issue on the famed boxer John Heenan, as the entire front page is taken up with a print of him captioned: "John C. Heenan, The Champion of the World".
The print was taken from a photo of him of May 3, 1860 in England, shortly after his famous match between himself and Tom Sayers.
Inside has a full page taken up with content concerning Heenan & his bout with Sayers, including two lengthy letters signed by him: John C. Heenan.
Sixteen pages, lightly toned, very nice condition.
