EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the intense sport of wrestling in the year 1912. The image is taken from "The Book of Sports & Pastimes for Young People" by J. K. Benson, published by C. Arthur Pearson Ltd in London. In this monochrome studio shot, two young men engage in a fierce wrestling match. Their muscular bodies are on full display as they grapple with each other, their arms locked tightly around one another's figures. The difficulty of the sport is evident through their strained expressions and bent postures. Set against a cream background, this portrait exudes an air of nostalgia that transports us back to the early 20th century. Wrestling was not only seen as a physical pastime but also as a test of strength and skill between opponents. The print collector has preserved this historic snapshot, allowing us to appreciate the athleticism and determination displayed by these wrestlers over a century ago. It serves as a reminder of how sports have evolved throughout time while still maintaining their core essence - competition and camaraderie. This print offers us an intriguing glimpse into the world of wrestling during an era when it was considered both an art form and a challenging sport.
