I have in my collection most copies of "The Mirror of Life" during the Edwardian era. They all contain lithographs or photographs of the leading boxers of the day and many of them are US, Australian and Canadian fighters.

I am posting one of Philadelphia Jack O'Brien from an edition in May 1901. It mentions a bout he is to have in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The quality varies greatly. Is there an interest in these? If so then I can post them via this topic and I can put many of them up over the next few months.

The quality varies greatly but many of them will be new, I am sure, to those who are interested in this period. Is there an interest in these?

hi Miles.
i hope you are well.
i would, of course, like to see these photos from the turn of the 20th century and would no doubt like to put a few up on my website. As you know, i would always accredit them to you and/or 'boxinghistory.org.uk'
i hope you will be able to make them available.
best regards

I want to be posting the lithographs and photographs from the Mirror of Life. But, as a one-off because he was so good, I will post a good picture of Owen Moran, a postcard.

Here it is :

hells bells Miles, thats brilliant. i never though id see photos of those two particularly Neumaier. i notice you dont have his record on your site. i take it thats because most of his bouts took place before 1900. will it be ok if i send a copy to Tracy Callis in the US. i know he is researching Neumaier. i will of course mention your name, regards, david
