EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, created by Joseph Strutt in 1876, depicts an engaging scene of men and boys participating in the ancient game of Hippas during the 14th century. The image illustrates the unique and physically demanding nature of this wrestling game, where players balance on the shoulders of their opponents in a piggyback position. The intricate details of the illustration reveal the intensity and focus of the players as they grapple with one another, their expressions showing determination and concentration. The vibrant colours and illuminated manuscript-like quality add to the historical and artistic significance of the image. Hippas, also known as "shoulder wrestling," was a popular sport and pastime in medieval England, often played during festivals and celebrations. The game required strength, agility, and strategy, making it a beloved activity for people of all ages. This illustration offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of English sports and pastimes, providing a window into the lives and traditions of the people of the time.
