EDITORS COMMENTS
This litho print showcases Mr. John Broughton, a prominent figure in the world of boxing during the 18th century. Engraved by J. Faber the Younger in 1757, this portrait captures the essence of Broughton's strength and determination. Broughton, also known as John Jack Broughton, was not only a skilled pugilist but also the third heavyweight champion of England. He is famously recognized for formulating the first set of boxing rules that laid the foundation for modern-day boxing regulations. In this half-length portrait, we see a bald-headed Broughton exuding confidence and athleticism. His muscular physique reflects years of rigorous training and dedication to his craft. The artist, John Ellys, masterfully brings out every detail with intricate engravings that highlight both his physical prowess and inner resolve. Displayed against a neutral background, this image emphasizes Broughton's commanding presence as he gazes directly at the viewer. It serves as an enduring testament to his legacy as one of Britain's most celebrated sportsmen. Measuring 51x39.5 cm and housed in a private collection, this litho print is part of The British Sporting Art Trust collection—a treasure trove dedicated to preserving historical sporting art. Whether you are an admirer of Georgian-era portraits or have an appreciation for athletic achievements throughout history, this engraving offers a fascinating glimpse into Mr. John Broughton's remarkable life and contributions to boxing culture.
