EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the 8th Marquis of Queensberry, John Sholto Douglas, who is best known as the patron of boxing and responsible for establishing the famous Queensberry Rules. The image shows him standing tall with an air of authority, holding an umbrella in one hand and wearing a distinguished top hat.
Born in 1844, John Sholto Douglas played a significant role in shaping the history of boxing with his rules that revolutionized the sport. His influence extended beyond just boxing, as he was also involved in a scandalous libel case against renowned writer Oscar Wilde.
In this photograph from 1900, we see a glimpse into the life of this influential figure who left a lasting impact on sports history. The image exudes power and sophistication, reflecting his status as a nobleman and patron of one of the most popular sports in history.
Mary Evans Picture Library has beautifully captured this historical moment, allowing us to appreciate the legacy left behind by the 8th Marquis of Queensberry. This print serves as a reminder of his contributions to both boxing and society at large.
