EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print captures the essence of William Cummings, a renowned runner from the late 19th century. Part of the iconic Worlds Champions Series 2 (N29) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes, this trade card showcases Cummings' athletic prowess and British heritage. In this portrait, Cummings stands proudly with his bare chest and semi-dressed attire, exuding strength and determination. His piercing gaze reflects his unwavering focus as he prepares for another race. The vibrant red color palette adds an element of dynamism to the image, symbolizing passion and energy. Cummings' Scottish roots are evident in his clothing choice - a nod to his homeland's traditional dress. This detail further emphasizes his connection to Britain as a whole and highlights the cultural diversity within sports during that era. The lithography technique used in creating this print brings out intricate details while maintaining a sense of artistry. Every line and stroke contributes to capturing Cummings' likeness with precision and skill. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece is not only a testament to William Cummings' sporting achievements but also serves as a valuable historical artifact. It offers us a glimpse into the world of 19th-century athletics while celebrating one man's dedication to excellence on the track.
