EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Positions of the hands when hitting (engraving)" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a crucial moment in the art of boxing. The image captures two skilled fighters engaged in a fierce battle, their bodies tensed with anticipation. The positioning of their hands is meticulously depicted, revealing the strategic nature of this combat sport. One boxer's left hand is poised to strike his opponent's head, while his right hand guards his own body against potential counterattacks. The other fighter adopts a similar defensive stance, ready to defend himself and launch an effective blow. This engraving was originally created as an illustration for Ned Donnelly's book on self-defense and boxing techniques published around 1880. It serves as both an educational tool and a testament to the dedication required in mastering this discipline. The intensity captured within this image reflects not only physical strength but also mental agility and quick thinking necessary for success in any conflict or confrontation. As these boxers confront each other within the ring, they embody determination, resilience, and skillful technique. Whether you are a fan of sports or simply appreciate historical artwork that encapsulates human struggle and competition, this print offers a glimpse into one aspect of our complex history: the timeless pursuit of victory through physical prowess.
