Theobaud Bauer, the Mighty Greco-Roman Wrestler - A Glimpse into 19th Century Sporting Excellence
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph print takes us back to the late 19th century, showcasing Theobaud Bauer, a renowned Greco-Roman wrestler. With his arms folded and bare chested, Bauer exudes strength and confidence as he gazes directly at the viewer. Dressed in semi-dress attire with shorts, he epitomizes the athletic prowess of his time. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this lithotint capture not only the physicality of wrestling but also the spirit of competition that defined sports during this era. The English text accompanying the portrait provides additional context about Bauer's accomplishments as one of the world champions in his field. This trade card was part of Series 2 (N29) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes in 1888. It is a testament to how popular sporting imagery became collectible items during this period. Produced by Eddy & Claus Lindner for Allen & Ginter, it showcases their mastery in printing techniques and attention to detail. As we admire this piece from The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection today, we are reminded not only of Bauer's legacy but also how sports have always held a special place within our cultural heritage. This photograph print serves as a window into an era where athleticism was celebrated and revered.
