EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1892, we witness a historic moment in boxing history. The image showcases the legendary James J. "Gentleman Jim". Corbett on the right, extending his hand for a handshake with John L. Sullivan at the beginning of their championship fight in New Orleans on September 7th. The line engraving, sourced from a contemporary newspaper, beautifully captures the intensity and anticipation surrounding this monumental match. As spectators fill the background, eagerly awaiting the clash between these two formidable opponents, one can almost feel the electric atmosphere that must have permeated through the air. Corbett's noble demeanor is evident as he extends his gloved hand towards Sullivan, showcasing both respect and sportsmanship before engaging in battle. Meanwhile, Sullivan stands tall and strong with his trademark moustache adorning his face - an embodiment of American strength and determination. This image not only immortalizes an iconic moment but also represents more than just a physical confrontation between two men; it symbolizes competition at its finest. It embodies courage, skill, and dedication to one's craft - qualities that define true champions. As we gaze upon this historical artifact captured by The Granger Collection's artistry and attention to detail, we are transported back to a time when boxing was still emerging as a popular sport in America. This print serves as a reminder of our rich sporting heritage while honoring those who paved the way for future generations of athletes to follow their dreams inside that sacred ring.
