About This Item
New York: Munn & Co., 1893. Very good condition. January 1893 issue, with an illustrated article on a kangaroo at the Royal Aquarium (London) trained as prize fighter, showing the kangaroo in the ring, wearing boxing gloves and facing a human opponent. "The clever instructor of this ingenious marsupial has trained it to conduct a contest under the conditions known as the Marquis of Queensberry's rules. It cannot be said that it adheres to these regulations quite so rigidly as the combatants who pummel one another at the National Sporting Club are required to do. ..." Single original issue with covers and ads. Folio, pages 18 - 32, illustrated wraps.
