Image description

Staffordshire Pottery, England. This pair of painted porcelain figures was probably made in the Staffordshire factory to commemorate the famous fight between Thomas Cribb and Thomas Molineaux which took place on 28 September 1811 in a field in Wymondham, Norfolk. Boxing was an extremely popular sport during this period and significant amounts of money changed hands during betting. This match – only the second time that these two famous boxers had met – went on for 11 rounds. Cribb was ultimately the victor, leaving Molineaux with a broken jaw. Their epic fight was also commemorated in a number of engravings, and Cribb’s name by a London pub.
