EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "November - Boxing" we are transported back to the intense world of early 20th-century boxing. The image showcases two gloved boxers, their faces filled with determination and anticipation, as they confront each other in the ring. This coloured woodblock print is a remarkable piece from An Almanac of Twelve Sports, featuring designs by William Nicholson and words by Rudyard Kipling. The vibrant colors bring life to the scene, highlighting every muscle strain and bead of sweat on the fighters' bodies. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost hear the cheers of an enthusiastic crowd echoing through our minds. This artwork captures not only the physicality but also the mental strength required in such a demanding sport. It reminds us that boxing is not merely about throwing punches; it's about strategy, resilience, and pushing oneself beyond limits. Created in London during 1898, this woodblock print stands as a testament to both artistic skill and sporting prowess. Its historical significance lies not just in its visual appeal but also in its representation of an era when boxing was gaining popularity as a legitimate sport. As we admire this powerful image, let us appreciate these boxers for their dedication to their craft and acknowledge how sports have always had the ability to captivate hearts across generations.
