It captures a group of Cornish wrestlers proudly posing outside what appears to be the Transvaal miners sports clubhouse. The image showcases not only the wrestlers but also officials, trophies, and prizes that symbolize their achievements. Amongst this remarkable gathering are two notable figures from Cornwall's wrestling history: Jack and Sydney Chapman. These brothers belonged to the renowned Chapman family of Cornish wrestlers hailing from St Columb area in Cornwall. Seated second and third from the left in the front row, they exude confidence and strength. The photographer behind this historical snapshot remains unknown; however, their ability to capture such a vibrant moment is commendable.
