Spring, Thomas b. February 22, 1795 d. August 20, 1851
British Bare-Knuckle Boxing Champion who fought between 1817-1824. His nickname of the "The Light Tapper" or "The Old Lady's Maid Fighter" was on account of his having weak hands, and thus unable to throw hard punches.

He was elected to the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1992. (Bio by: Nemo)

Wertheimer, Almina b. November 21, 1886 d. July 31, 1928
Artist's Model. Her image as captured by the great portraitist John Singer Sargent is a reminder of a long bygone style. Almina's portrait was one of a dozen commissioned by her father, London art merchant Asher Wertheimer, the largest such order Sargent ever received. The painter, who typically spent a good deal of time deciding just how to depict each subject, presented her costumed as a Persian harem girl complete with studio prop Indian sarod, a fashion that was considered exotic and '...[Read More] (Bio by: Bob Hufford)
