From Cecil Rhodes to Jascha Heifetz's legendary performance in Punch 20, this word holds countless stories within its grasp. Travel back to 1855 when Punch Dinosaurs roamed Crystal Palace, captivating audiences with their prehistoric allure. Fast forward to witness the electrifying seventh round between boxing legend Sugar Ray Robinson and his opponent. The intensity is palpable as they exchange blows in a battle for glory. Indulge your senses with Cockspur Rum from Barbados, an exquisite Caribbean delight that packs a punch of flavor. Marvel at the audacity of a woman stepping into the ring on Bystander cover 1929 - In Training - Boxing Woman, breaking societal norms with her determination and skill. Delve into artistry through Faraday Giving His Card to Father Thames engraving from Punch cartoon or immerse yourself in natural history with Ichthyosaurus as a museum piece. Witness the warning conveyed by Wagners Ring Cycle engraving – an artistic interpretation that leaves you pondering its deeper meaning. Journey further back in time to witness historic battles like The second fight between Harry Paulson and Tom Paddock in 1851 captured by artist Pugnis or explore Daniel Mendoza's litho engraved by Henry Kinsbury in 1789 – both testaments to human resilience and strength.
