Johnny Walker - Champion Lightweight - A Glimpse into 19th Century Boxing
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Johnny Walker - from engraving by Geo. Hunt" takes us back to the vibrant world of 19th-century boxing. The image showcases a remarkable engraving by George Hunt after a painting by A. S. Henning, capturing the essence of Johnny Walker, an acclaimed champion lightweight. Born in 1819, this formidable athlete stood at a height of 5 feet and 5½ inches, with a weight of precisely 9 stone and 2 pounds. His physical prowess is evident as he exudes confidence and strength through his poised stance and muscular build. The artwork itself is masterfully executed, highlighting the skillful craftsmanship of both the painter and engraver. Every detail is meticulously etched onto paper using gravure techniques that bring out texture and depth in stunning clarity. Transporting us to Lilliput in November 1942 (after number 376), this piece offers a glimpse into an era when boxing was gaining popularity as a sport worldwide. It serves as a testament to the enduring fascination with pugilism throughout history. While it's important to note that this artwork does not depict the famous whisky brand associated with its name, it stands on its own merit as an exquisite representation of athleticism during its time. Brought to us by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, this print invites viewers to appreciate not only the artistry behind engravings but also gain insight into sports culture from centuries past. As we admire Johnny Walker's portrait today, we are reminded of his legacy as one among many celebrated boxers who left their mark on history.
