Daniel Mendoza was a famous Jewish boxer who transformed the English stereotype of a Jew from a weak, defenseless person into someone deserving of respect. He is said to have been the first Jew to talk to the King, George III. He was the British boxing champion from 1792-1795. Richard Humphreys was one of his noted opponents, they facing each other in four matches.
Four pages, red tax stamp on the ftpg., very nice condition.
