This print showcases the timeless artistry of Cornish wrestlers, frozen in a moment of intense physicality. Crafted as a wood block print during the early 19th century, this remarkable piece was discovered in an old printing office at Liskeard and is believed to have served as a prominent heading for posters. Its origin can be traced back to around 1820-1830, offering us a glimpse into the rich history of Cornwall. The image exudes tradition and strength, capturing the essence of this beloved sport that has been cherished by generations. The wrestlers' muscular bodies intertwine with precision and grace, displaying their mastery over technique and balance. Their faces reflect determination mixed with respect for their opponent - an embodiment of sportsmanship. Beyond its artistic value, this wood block print also serves as a testament to advertising practices prevalent during that era. It symbolizes how these skilled athletes were celebrated figures within their community and draws attention to wrestling events or competitions that may have taken place across Cornwall. As we admire this historical gem from the Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also recognize the significance it holds in preserving our cultural heritage. This artwork encapsulates both the spirit of competition found within wrestling and pays homage to those who dedicated themselves to mastering this ancient Cornish tradition.
