EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print from the late 19th century showcases Charlie Mitchell, a renowned British pugilist and heavyweight champion. The image captures his raw strength and determination as he stands bare-chested, ready to engage in the brutal sport of bare-knuckle boxing. Charlie Mitchell's muscular physique is accentuated by the lithotint technique used to create this vibrant color portrait. His fists are clenched tightly, symbolizing his unwavering commitment to his craft. This cigarette card, part of the Worlds Champions series produced by Allen & Ginter Cigarettes in 1887, immortalizes Mitchell as one of boxing's most prominent figures. The artist Claus Lindner Eddy skillfully portrays Mitchell's personality through this striking composition. With meticulous attention to detail, Eddy captures every contour of Mitchell's face and body, emphasizing both his physical prowess and inner strength. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art today, this lithograph serves as a testament to the rich history of boxing and its legendary personalities. It not only celebrates Charlie Mitchell's remarkable achievements but also pays homage to an era when sportsmanship was revered above all else. As we gaze upon this historic piece of artistry, we are transported back in time to witness a true sporting icon who left an indelible mark on the world stage with his unparalleled skills inside the ring.
