The Pugilistic Kangaroo, now performing at the Westminster Aquarium
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by Phil May that takes us back to the late 19th century. The image showcases an extraordinary spectacle of a kangaroo engaged in a boxing match. This unique and whimsical performance was undoubtedly a highlight at the renowned Westminster Aquarium in London. The pugnacious marsupial stands tall on its hind legs, ready to exchange blows with its opponent. Its muscular physique and determined expression reveal its prowess as a formidable fighter. With gloved paws raised, it seems poised to deliver a powerful punch that could knock out any challenger. Surrounded by spectators eagerly watching from all corners of the arena, this unusual exhibition draws attention not only for its novelty but also for the controversy surrounding it. Claims of foul play and accusations of unfair tactics add an element of intrigue to this peculiar contest. May's intricate engravings skillfully capture every detail, allowing us to appreciate both the artistry involved and the sheer audacity of such an event taking place within these walls. As we gaze upon this historical print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of London's most eccentric attractions. "The Pugilistic Kangaroo" serves as a reminder that art has always been capable of capturing moments that challenge our expectations and provoke our imagination.
