EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Richard Humphries, an English bare-knuckle fighter, in all his glory. Engraved by the talented John Young in 1788 using the mezzotint technique, this artwork captures the essence of a true champion. Humphries, with his intense gaze and muscular physique, exudes strength and determination. The half-length portrait allows us to appreciate every detail of his rugged features and powerful stance. As one of the most renowned boxers of his time, Humphries symbolizes the spirit of athleticism and sportsmanship. The Georgian era comes alive through this remarkable piece as it transports us back to a time when bare-knuckle boxing was at its peak. With no gloves to protect their hands or faces, these pugilists relied solely on their skill and resilience. Displayed proudly in a private collection, this print serves as a reminder of Humphries' significant contribution to the sport. His legacy lives on through this artwork that immortalizes him as not just a boxer but also as an icon for perseverance and dedication. As we admire this extraordinary mezzotint engraving by John Young, we are reminded of how art can capture history's most fascinating characters and preserve them for generations to come.
