EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts the intense moment of a historic boxing match between Daniel Mendoza and Richard Humphries, two legendary pugilists of the late 18th century. The image, captured in intricate detail, showcases the raw power and determination of the two athletes as they engage in a fierce battle inside the ring. Daniel Mendoza, a British boxer of Jewish descent, is depicted on the left side of the print, his focused gaze locked onto his opponent's every move. Known for his unorthodox fighting style, Mendoza employed a defensive technique called the "Mendoza guard," which protected his chin and allowed him to counterattack effectively. On the right side of the print, we see Richard Humphries, a formidable opponent and a champion boxer in his own right. Humphries, a tall and powerful man, is shown throwing a powerful punch towards Mendoza's midsection, his muscles tensed and veins bulging with the effort. The boxing match between Mendoza and Humphries took place in London on March 17, 1792, and marked a significant moment in the history of the sport. Mendoza, who was considered an underdog, defied the odds and emerged victorious, becoming the first Jewish world champion in boxing. This engraving, a testament to the skill and athleticism of these two remarkable men, offers a glimpse into the rich history of boxing and the intense rivalries that have shaped the sport over the centuries.
