EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print from the late 19th century showcases Jem Smith, a renowned British pugilist and heavyweight champion. The image is part of the iconic Worlds Champions series, produced by Allen & Ginter Cigarettes in 1887. With its vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail, this lithotint portrait captures the essence of Smith's strength and determination. In this striking depiction, Smith stands tall with his fists clenched, embodying the spirit of bare-knuckle boxing that defined his era. His rugged features tell a story of countless battles fought within the ring. The lithography technique used to create this piece adds depth and texture to every line and contour. Jem Smith's legacy as one of Britain's most celebrated sportsmen is beautifully preserved in this trade card print. It serves as a testament to his skill and endurance in an era when boxing was still evolving into a regulated sport. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art under the title "Jem Smith, Pugilist" this artwork by Claus Lindner Eddy Clau offers us a glimpse into both sporting history and artistic mastery. As we admire this exquisite piece, we are reminded not only of Jem Smith's contributions but also of how art can capture moments that transcend time itself.
