EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures the essence of Jimmy Carroll, a renowned pugilist from the late 19th century. The image is part of the iconic Worlds Champions series (N28) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes, released in 1887. In this portrait, Carroll stands proudly with his bare chested physique on display, showcasing his strength and determination as a boxer. His handlebar mustache adds to his rugged appearance, while his intense gaze reveals the fierce competitor within. The artist Claus Lindner Eddy expertly captured Carroll's likeness and personality through intricate details such as facial hair and hand positioning. The lithograph's monochromatic color scheme adds depth and intensity to the composition. Carroll's sash signifies his status as a champion in bare knuckle boxing, a popular sport during that era. This trade card not only serves as an advertisement for Allen & Ginter cigarettes but also immortalizes one of Britain's most celebrated sportsmen. Displayed at The Met museum today, this piece represents both historical significance and artistic excellence. It offers viewers a glimpse into the world of 19th-century boxing while honoring Jimmy Carroll's legacy as an English sporting icon.
