EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print showcases George La Blanche, a renowned pugilist and Canadian boxing champion from the late 19th century. The image is part of the "Worlds Champions" series produced by Allen & Ginter Cigarettes in 1888. In this striking portrait, George La Blanche stands bare-chested with his arms crossed, exuding strength and confidence. The artist, Claus Lindner Eddy, skillfully captures every detail of La Blanche's semi-dressed form against a vibrant green background. With intense focus and determination in his eyes, the boxer gazes away from the viewer as if preparing for an upcoming match. This lithotint print combines rich colors and intricate detailing to create a visually stunning representation of one of Canada's most celebrated sportsmen. The English text on the trade card provides additional context about George La Blanche's achievements and serves as a testament to his status as a world-class athlete. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this piece not only highlights Allen & Ginter's contribution to popular culture during that era but also serves as an important historical artifact capturing the spirit of boxing in the late 19th century. It reminds us of the enduring fascination with sportsmanship and athleticism that transcends time.
