EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the image of John Smith, also known as Buckhorse, an 18th-century prizefighter. Despite his mishapen head, Buckhorse was a formidable fighter who engaged in a total of 71 fights during his career. Notably, he faced defeat at the hands of Somerset John Cooper and heavyweight champion Jack Broughton. After retiring from professional fighting, Buckhorse took on a rather unusual occupation. He allowed Eton and Westminster boys to punch him for a shilling per blow. This peculiar spectacle became quite popular among curious onlookers. The lithograph is based on a stipple engraving by Robert Cooper after a portrait by Daniel Dodd. It originates from Henry Wilson and James Caulfield's Book of Wonderful Characters, Memoirs and Anecdotes of Remarkable and Eccentric Persons in all ages and countries published in London in 1869. In this artwork, we see Buckhorse portrayed with great detail and precision. His distinctive features are emphasized - particularly his misshapen head - which adds to the curiosity surrounding him. The artist skillfully captures both the physicality of the sport through dynamic lines depicting movement as well as the intrigue surrounding this enigmatic figure. This print serves as not only an artistic representation but also as historical documentation capturing one man's unique journey within the world of bareknuckle prizefighting during the 18th century.
