Default R&S Artistic ever do boxing cards?

Hi guys,

I know R&S Artistic did baseball "cards" (they're really Oblaten, die cut and embossed scraps), but I'm wondering if they also did Boxing cards.

I am working my way through a scrapbook from the 1890s, in which there were a number of R&S baseball cards. On the same pages are two boxing cards, both that say "Heavy" (see scan below.)

I am reasonably certain they are R&S; the imagery is very similar (same artist?), the writing on the cards is similar, the size is similar, the paper type is similar. But haven't been able to find anything about them.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Laura
