EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Lutteurs (The Wrestlers), from 'Le Monde Illustre', May 22,1875" takes us back to the vibrant world of 19th-century wrestling. The image, captured by Auguste Joliet, showcases the skill and strength of two wrestlers engaged in a fierce battle. In this historic scene, we witness the intense physicality and determination etched on their faces as they grapple with each other. The wood engraving technique used adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its dramatic impact. The spectators surrounding the wrestling ring are enthralled by the spectacle before them. Onlookers eagerly watch every move made by these formidable athletes, their eyes fixed on the action unfolding before them. This snapshot offers a glimpse into a time when wrestling was not only a sport but also an art form that captivated audiences across France. The artists behind this masterpiece, Alexandre Falguière and Jean-Alexandre-Joseph Falguière, have successfully immortalized this moment in history through their collaboration with Etienne Gabriel Bocourt for 'Le Monde Illustré'. Their attention to detail brings life to each figure portrayed in this artwork. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met), this photograph serves as a testament to both French heritage and artistic excellence. It reminds us of our rich cultural past while celebrating the enduring power of sportsmanship and competition throughout history.
