EDITORS COMMENTS
"This engraving captures the dramatic moment at the end of a boxing match in the late 19th century, around 1896. The image shows the defeated boxer lying prone on the ground, his body limp and exhausted, as the referee in a top hat enters the ring. The referee's authoritative presence is evident as he raises one hand to signal the end of the bout. The crowd in the background, a sea of hats and coats, watches intently, some cheering, others booing. The intricate details of the engraving, from the textured fabric of the boxers' gloves to the individual strands of hair on their heads, transport us back in time to an era when physical strength and agility were celebrated. Boxing was a popular pastime and a significant cultural phenomenon during this period, with matches often drawing large crowds and generating intense media coverage. This historical engraving provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of boxing during the late 1800s, offering a unique perspective on the sport's rich history."
