EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a moment of intense action from the classic novel "Tom Brown's School-Days" by Thomas Hughes. The illustration, created by artist Edmund Joseph Sullivan, depicts a young boy named East being hurled forward and plunging on his shoulder during a rugby match. The dynamic composition and detailed rendering bring this thrilling sports scene to life, showcasing the excitement and intensity of schoolboy athletics in the 19th century.
Sullivan's skillful use of black and white adds depth and drama to the image, emphasizing the physicality and emotion of the moment. The expression on East's face conveys both determination and pain, highlighting the challenges faced by young athletes as they strive for victory on the playing field.
As an Old Boy himself, Sullivan brings a personal touch to this illustration, capturing not only the physicality of sport but also the camaraderie and spirit of competition that are central themes in Hughes' timeless coming-of-age story. This print serves as a powerful visual representation of one of literature's most beloved tales, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the world of Tom Brown and his fellow schoolboys as they navigate friendship, rivalry, and growth through their shared experiences on campus.
