ESCO Boxing Exhibit Cards Collection

Location

Rare Books & Special Collections, Hesburgh Libraries

This collection includes more than 300 exhibit cards featuring images of boxers. Cards are the size of postcards. The fronts of most cards contain an image of a boxer with his name and sometimes other information like hometown, nicknames, etc. The backs of cards from the 1920s often contain short bios and/or selected match results, and many have a postcard back for mailing. Some of the cards from the 1920s are tinted in different colors. Many cards, especially those printed after 1928, contain no information about the year of publication and have blank backs. Formats include boxing cards, collecting cards, and photographic postcards.
