EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the essence of 19th-century boxing as depicted on the front page of Boxiana magazine in 1812. The print, created by an English School artist, showcases a pivotal moment in pugilism history. In this scene, two formidable fighters stand face-to-face, their clenched fists ready for battle. The Georgian era setting and regency fashion add to the historical charm of the image. This illustration is part of a series written by Pierce Egan, chronicling various boxing matches and articles. The intensity between these sportsmen is palpable as they prepare to engage in a fierce match. Their confrontation symbolizes not only physical conflict but also embodies the spirit of competition and determination that defines sport itself. With every stroke of the engraving, this artwork immortalizes a significant chapter in sporting history. It serves as a testament to the enduring popularity and cultural significance of boxing during this time period. Displayed proudly within a private collection, this litho offers viewers an intriguing glimpse into an era when fisticuffs held great appeal for both participants and spectators alike. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' collection at Fine Art Finder, we are transported back to a time where honor was tested through skillful combat within the squared circle
