EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph from 1887, we are introduced to Joe Lannon, a renowned pugilist of the late 19th century. This striking portrait is part of the iconic Worlds Champions series by Allen & Ginter Cigarettes, showcasing legendary athletes of the era. With his arms confidently folded and bare-chested physique on display, Lannon exudes strength and determination. His piercing gaze looks away into the distance, perhaps contemplating his next opponent or reflecting on past victories in the boxing ring. The artist behind this lithotint masterpiece is Claus Lindner Eddy, who skillfully captures Lannon's rugged masculinity and unwavering confidence. The vibrant colors bring life to every detail of this historic image. As a Boston native known as "the Boston Boy". Joe Lannon was celebrated for his prowess in bare-knuckle boxing matches. This trade card serves as a testament to his status as a champion in an era when boxing was still evolving into its modern form. Preserved within museum collections like The Met, this piece represents not only an important moment in sports history but also showcases America's fascination with athleticism during the late 19th century. It stands as a reminder of our country's rich sporting heritage and pays homage to remarkable individuals like Joe Lannon who left an indelible mark on their respective fields.
