EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that captures the intense sport of boxing among sailors in the American Fleet during the early 20th century. The image, created by Achille Beltrame, showcases a crowded ship deck transformed into a makeshift boxing ring, complete with ropes and enthusiastic spectators. In this thrilling scene, two competitors stand ready to engage in combat while surrounded by their fellow sailors. The atmosphere is electric as men eagerly support their chosen fighter, creating an adrenaline-fueled spectacle amidst the vastness of the open sea. Beltrame's illustration for Courier Sunday in January 1924 provides a fascinating glimpse into naval life and entertainment during this era. It highlights how boxing had gained immense popularity among sailors who sought excitement and camaraderie during long voyages. The print not only captures the physicality and skill involved in boxing but also reflects its significance as a form of leisure and recreation for those serving in America's armed forces. It symbolizes unity, competition, and resilience within these tight-knit communities at sea. With its vibrant colors and attention to detail, "The Science of Fists on the High Seas" serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation of an era when boxing became intertwined with naval culture.
