In the spirited tradition of Pierce Egan's "Life in London" (1821-22), this captivating image depicts a fierce fist fight between Tom and Jerry, two unyielding adversaries locked in combat on a darkened London street. The scene, reminiscent of Egan's "A Short Set to at Longs Hotel, or Stop-Ford not getting the best of it," showcases the raw logic and determination involved in the altercation. As the crowd gathers, the tension mounts, and the outcome remains uncertain. Fast forward to September 1956, and the atmosphere at "The Clyde" pub in Govan is far from tranquil. The locals, with mischievous grins, joke with the landlord as they reminisce about past brawls. The top right corner of the print bears the intriguing inscription, "Fistfight Donna Inez Donna Isabella," hinting at a possible connection between the two seemingly unrelated scenes. This captivating image invites us to ponder the complexities of human nature and the enduring allure of a good old-fashioned fistfight.
