EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print from the late 19th century showcases Jack Havlin, a renowned pugilist of his time. The image is part of the "Worlds Champions" series produced by Allen & Ginter Cigarettes in 1888. In this striking portrait, Havlin stands bare-chested and confident, displaying his well-defined physique that exemplifies the strength and endurance required for bare-knuckle boxing. The artist, Claus Lindner Eddy, skillfully captures Havlin's intense gaze and powerful stance, emphasizing his prowess as a boxer. The lithotint technique used to create this artwork adds depth and richness to the colors employed throughout the composition. Havlin's attire reflects the fashion of the era with semi-dress clothing consisting of shorts and minimalistic garments. His clenched fist suggests both determination and readiness for combat within the squared circle. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art under their esteemed collection titled "Jack Havlin, Pugilist" this historic trade card offers a glimpse into an era when boxing was gaining popularity as a sport. It serves as a testament to not only Havlin's individual achievements but also to the broader significance of sportsmanship during that time period. This remarkable piece provides us with an opportunity to appreciate both its artistic merit and historical context while celebrating one man's dedication to his craft in an age where physical prowess reigned supreme.
