Edwin Haislet, though though that's 1940.

I think Sullivan does. I know that he has *illustrations* anyhow.

So does Corbett. Very clear photos of how to for a fist (in a
"jab"/lead).

I know that there's at least one other that has illustrations of making
a fist, but I'm drawing a blank.

Peace favor your sword,
Kirk
