This print showcases a historic moment in British boxing history. The engraving, created by the English School in the 19th century, depicts Ned Painter of Norwich. The drawing was skillfully executed by George Sharples in 1824 and later featured as an illustration for "Pugilistica: The History of British Boxing" by Henry Downes Miles. In this striking image, we witness the intensity and raw energy of a pugilist at work. Ned Painter stands proudly, his muscular frame ready for battle. His clenched fists reveal his determination to conquer any opponent that dares to challenge him. This portrayal captures not only the physicality but also the spirit of these courageous fighters. The scene transports us back to a time when boxing served as both entertainment and sport. It reminds us of the thrill and excitement that surrounded these matches, where boxers clashed against each other with unwavering resolve. Norwich serves as the backdrop for this historical moment, adding depth to our understanding of regional boxing traditions during this era. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into a world where conflict is settled through controlled aggression within the confines of a ring.
