EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print showcases the legendary John L. Sullivan, a renowned pugilist and boxing champion of the 19th century. The image captures Sullivan in all his glory, with his arms folded and bare chested, exuding strength and confidence. Known as the "Boston Strong Boy". Sullivan's imposing figure is accentuated by his muscular physique and impressive facial hair. The lithography technique used to create this piece adds depth and richness to the colors, bringing out every intricate detail of Sullivan's attire. Dressed in semi-naked shorts, he epitomizes the spirit of a true sportsman from that era. Sullivan's Irish heritage is evident through his rugged appearance and moustache, adding an element of cultural significance to this portrait. The English text accompanying the image further emphasizes his status as a heavyweight champion who captivated audiences both in America and abroad. This trade card was part of Allen & Ginter Cigarettes' Worlds Champions series in 1887, showcasing iconic figures from various sports disciplines. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), it stands as a testament to both Sullivan's enduring legacy as well as the artistic craftsmanship employed during that time period. As we gaze upon this remarkable print today, we are transported back to an era when boxing was not just a sport but also an embodiment of strength, skill, and determination - qualities personified by John L. Sullivan himself.
