EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures the essence of fairness in a way that truly catches the eye. The image depicts two men engaged in a boxing match, each aiming to strike the other in the eye. The intensity of their confrontation is palpable, as they clash and confront each other with determination and resolve.
The postcard, dating back to the early 20th century, offers a satirical take on this combat sport, showcasing a scathing satire that is both humorous and thought-provoking. The cartoon-like quality of the illustration adds an element of comic relief to what would otherwise be seen as a serious competition.
As we delve deeper into this artwork, we are reminded of the timeless themes explored by William Shakespeare in his play "Cymbeline." The reference to Shakespeare adds another layer of depth to this already complex portrayal of conflict and struggle.
Overall, this print challenges us to consider our own notions of fairness and justice. It invites us to reflect on how we engage with others in moments of conflict and competition. Through its powerful imagery and rich symbolism, it serves as a reminder that true fairness lies not only in victory or defeat but also in how we conduct ourselves during moments of challenge.
