EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Frank Murphy, Pugilist" is a remarkable piece from the Worlds Champions series by Allen & Ginter Cigarettes in 1888. The image showcases the strength and determination of Frank Murphy, a renowned boxer of the 19th century. With his arms crossed over his bare chest and an intense gaze in his eyes, Murphy exudes confidence and power. The artist, Claus Lindner Eddy, skillfully captures every detail of this iconic sportsman's appearance. From his semi-dressed attire to the shorts that reveal his muscular physique, every aspect reflects the essence of boxing as a sport. The lithography technique used adds depth and vibrancy to the colors employed in this print. As we delve into history through this portrait, we are transported back to an era when pugilism was celebrated as one of society's most thrilling spectacles. This trade card not only serves as a visual representation but also provides valuable insight into popular culture during that time. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this artwork stands as a testament to Allen & Ginter's commitment to capturing sporting legends on their cigarette cards. It reminds us of how art can transcend time and continue to inspire generations with its beauty and historical significance.
