EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Boxing (engraving)" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a dynamic scene filled with various elements. The artwork, created by an English School artist, is part of a private collection and captures the essence of boxing as a sport. The image features two boxers engaged in an intense match, their muscular bodies displaying strength and determination. Surrounding them are illustrations depicting a majestic lion, symbolizing power and courage, alongside a man in a boat navigating through rough waters. The presence of the United States flag suggests that this sporting event has crossed borders and gained international recognition. Intriguingly, the caption includes a quote from William Shakespeare's Macbeth: "And damn d be him that first cries, Hold enough". This quotation adds depth to the image by emphasizing the fierce nature of competition and perhaps alluding to the relentless pursuit of victory within boxing. The combination of men engaging in physical combat with wild animals and maritime scenes creates an intriguing juxtaposition between human strength and untamed wilderness. It reminds us not only of our primal instincts but also our ability to conquer challenges presented by both nature and fellow humans. Overall, this print offers viewers an immersive experience into historical sports culture while inviting contemplation on themes such as bravery, resilience, and triumph over adversity.
