EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a unique and intriguing spectacle from the early 1900s - the Boxing Kangaroo featured at Frank C. Bostocks Wild Animal Arena in America. The line engraving, taken from an American circus program dating back to 1901, captures the essence of this extraordinary event. In this image, we witness two men standing inside a boxing ring, wearing gloves and ready for combat. However, what sets this scene apart is the inclusion of a kangaroo as one of the fighters! This unexpected twist adds an element of surprise and wonder to the already thrilling atmosphere of a boxing match. The kangaroo stands tall on its hind legs, displaying its strength and agility. With gloved paws raised in competition, it appears poised for battle against its human opponent. This depiction not only highlights the ingenuity and creativity found within circuses during that era but also serves as a testament to our fascination with unusual acts that challenge societal norms. As we delve into history through this remarkable artwork by The Granger Collection, we are reminded of how entertainment has evolved over time while still retaining elements that captivate audiences today. Whether it be through daring stunts or unexpected pairings like a boxing kangaroo, these spectacles continue to ignite our imagination and leave us longing for more exciting experiences under the big top.
