"Brawling: A Glimpse into the Fierce Battles of History" Step back in time and witness the intensity of brawling, as depicted through various captivating artworks. From ancient civilizations to epic clashes in more recent history, these illustrations offer a glimpse into the ferocity and valor displayed by warriors throughout time. In South Africa's Zulu War of 1879, The South Wales Borderers valiantly defended Rorkes Drift against overwhelming odds. This colorful lithograph captures their unwavering determination amidst chaos. Travel further back to England's Civil War in 1645, where Royalist cavalry clashed with opposing forces at the Battle of Naseby. The vibrant lithograph showcases their gallant charge on horseback, highlighting the bravery that defined this tumultuous era. Venturing even earlier, we encounter Dragons De Murat En Egypte from 1798 and Infanterie Legere Carabinier from 1800. These vivid lithographs depict French soldiers engaged in combat during Napoleon Bonaparte's Egyptian campaign – a testament to their resilience and tactical prowess. Delve deeper into antiquity with "The Wrestlers, " an awe-inspiring black-and-white photograph capturing two figures locked in an eternal struggle reminiscent of Greek artistry from the third century BC. Their physical prowess mesmerizes viewers across centuries. Turning our attention to naval warfare, an engraving commemorates Rome's victory over Carthaginians at the Battle of Aegates in 241 BC. Witnessing Roman warships dominating the seas reminds us of ancient maritime power struggles that shaped history. Closer to home, British soldiers are portrayed fighting through urban streets in a color lithograph – a testament to their tenacity during times of conflict within their own borders. James Figg takes center stage next - his advertisement immortalized by William Hogarth around 1729/30 showcases England's first recognized boxing champion.
