A friend of mine gave me this page from an old newspaper for Christmas and I had it framed. I just got it back from the framer today. The caption below the picture says, "DEVON WRESTLING - NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, " and the heading on the right side of the page says, "SUPPLEMENT TO THE ILLUSTRATED SPORTING AND DRAMATIC NEWS, July 8, 1876." That's all I know about it. There's stuff on the back, but I didn't pay attention to it and now that it's framed, it's too late. Sorry about the size, but I was unable to make it smaller.  |

Thats really cool. I took my picture of my great grandparents in a couple weeks ago to get redone. I can't wait to get it back.

I bet it looks good next to your Munich Gable 72 print.

I bet it looks good next to your Munich Gable 72 print. Don't have one, but I do have a print of Dave Schultz by LeRoy Neiman and one of Abe Lincoln as a wrestler (I believe I got that one at an auction that you had something to do with), both signed by the artist. All three are hanging in my den. |

I can't believe that guy got caught in a headlock.
And Spider.... what are you doing teaching guys to rely on a headlock??
