Miniature Monday!  

Imagine the impact of this 1897 flipbook, before television and radio!  Ringside seats to the championship match means that this saw a lot of use and the cover of this flipbook has been worn to bits.  I could safely capture a few images from the center to bring one punch back to life for you.
