This print showcases the legendary John Gulley, a prominent figure in both the world of horse racing and boxing during the 19th century. The engraving, created by an anonymous English artist, beautifully captures Gulley's strong presence and determination. John Gulley was not only known for his exceptional skills as a prize-fighter but also for his remarkable achievements on the racecourse. In 1832, he triumphed in both the Derby and St. Leger races, solidifying his status as one of England's finest jockeys. His success continued years later when he secured victories in the prestigious Derby and Oaks races in 1846. Gulley's portrait exudes strength and resilience, reflecting his unwavering dedication to sportsmanship. With a focused gaze that hints at his fierce competitive spirit, it is evident why he became such a revered athlete during the Georgian era. This print serves as a timeless tribute to John Gulley's legacy as both a skilled horse racer and fearless boxer. It encapsulates an era where bare-knuckle fighting was celebrated alongside equestrian pursuits. Preserved within private collections today, this artwork allows us to glimpse into history while honoring one of England's most talented sportsmen of yesteryears.
