EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "Jack McGee, Pugilist" is part of the iconic Worlds Champions series by Allen & Ginter Cigarettes. Created in 1888, during the vibrant 19th century, this piece showcases a bare-chested and determined boxer at the peak of his physical prowess. The artist Claus Lindner Eddy skillfully captures Jack McGee's intense gaze and muscular physique with vivid colors and intricate details. The lithotint technique used adds depth to every stroke, making it an exquisite example of printing craftsmanship. McGee stands confidently in semi-dress attire, wearing shorts that highlight his powerful legs. His clenched fist suggests both strength and determination as he prepares for battle inside the boxing ring. This portrait epitomizes the spirit of sportsmanship prevalent during this era. Displayed against a backdrop featuring English text written in Western script, this trade card served as a collectible item for cigarette enthusiasts back then. Today, it has found its place within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection - a testament to its historical significance and artistic merit. As we admire this remarkable image from Heritage Images without mentioning commercial use or any specific company associated with it, we are transported back to an era where bare-knuckle boxing was celebrated as one of society's most thrilling sports.
