"Two pugilists, stripped to the waist, face each other with raised fists, each with his second behind him. The bottle-holders sit on the ground (left and right) just inside the ring, which is formed by the front row of seated spectators. A dense (masculine) crowd seated in tiers surrounds the ring, backed by coaches on which stand women as well as men. Below the title: 'The Concourse of people exceeded any thing we have ever wit-nessed. The Spectators were computed at Ten Thousand. At one O'Clock the Champions entered the ring, and Sam had for his second Harry Lee, whilst Joe Ward officiated for Medley, after a severe and bloody contest of 49 Rounds Victory was decided in favour of Sam'."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
