EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, created by Joseph Strutt in 1876, depicts an intense scene of medieval wrestling from the 14th century. The image transports us back in time, where two determined men engage in a fierce contest, each striving for victory and the coveted prize. The setting is simple yet evocative, with a crowd of onlookers gathered around the wrestling arena, their faces etched with anticipation and excitement. The men, dressed in loose-fitting garments, grapple with each other, their muscles straining as they try to overpower their opponent. The prize at stake is a rooster, a symbol of status and wealth during the medieval period. The intricate details of the illustration, with its illuminated manuscript-like quality, add to the overall sense of history and authenticity. This game of wrestling was not only a popular pastime but also a respected sport, with tournaments held at fairs and markets. The image invites us to appreciate the physical prowess and competitive spirit of the people of the time, making it a fascinating glimpse into medieval culture and traditions.
