EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph by Joseph Strutt, titled 'Sports and Pastimes of the People of England,' showcases three distinct wrestling bouts from the Medieval era. In the top image, two men engage in a wrestling match with their heavy coats spread out on the ground. The coats likely provided extra padding and grip, adding an element of challenge to the contest. The middle illustration depicts an intense bout for a coveted prize: a rooster. The victor proudly holds the triumphant bird aloft, signifying his dominance and earning the admiration of the onlookers. In the lower scene, men participate in the game of Hippas, a popular form of communal entertainment. Here, wrestlers climb onto the shoulders of their opponents, attempting to throw them to the ground. The intricate details and vibrant colours of this illuminated manuscript-style lithograph transport us back to the 14th century, offering a glimpse into the rich history of Medieval sports and pastimes.
