Notes
Song celebrating an alleged match between Irish-American boxer John Morrissy and the "Russian sailor boy"; no documentation of the fight appears to exist, and the accounts related in popular ballads such as this one may, in fact, be fictional.
Text printed in one column, with a wood engraving of two men engaged in a boxing match at head of sheet.
Item mounted onto a leaf from an album of collected song sheets and broadsides (PML 136667) the individual folios disbound and housed in two boxes.
