EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the legendary Thomas Cribb, hailed as the Champion of England during the 19th century. The image is a reproduction of an engraving based on a painting by De Wild in 1811. With his muscular physique and determined expression, Cribb exudes strength and confidence, embodying the essence of a true pugilist. The artwork was featured in "Pugilistica: The History of British Boxing" by Henry Downes Miles, published in 1906. This historical context adds depth to the significance of this portrait, highlighting Cribb's prominent role in shaping the sport of boxing. In this dynamic depiction, two boxers confront each other with intensity and anticipation. It captures not only their physical clash but also represents a metaphorical battle between skill and determination. The scene evokes images of fierce competition and raw athleticism that captivated audiences during that era. Beyond its sporting significance, this image serves as a testament to entertainment culture at large during the time period. Boxing matches were highly anticipated events that drew crowds seeking excitement and spectacle. Preserved within private collections for years before being made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this print allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind De Wild's original painting and Cribb's enduring legacy as one of England's greatest champions in sports history.
