Framed, hand colored engraved image of pugilist "Jack Broughton the Father of English Boxing" by Moore D Williamson. Broughton is in civilian attire. John "Jack" Broughton (1703-1789) was an English bare-knuckle boxer. He was the first person to codify a set of boxing rules; prior to this the "rules" that existed were very loosely defined and tended to vary from contest to contest. His seven rules were widely used in boxing for nearly century, until they were replaced by the London Prize Ring rules in 1838.
