EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in the world of boxing. The image depicts a thrilling match between two renowned fighters, Dutch Sam and Ben Medley, which took place on May 31,1810, at Moulsey Hurst near Hampton. Created by the talented artist Thomas Rowlandson, this illustration provides a glimpse into the intense atmosphere of prize fighting during the early 19th century. Dutch Sam, whose real name was Samuel Elias and lived from 1775 to 1816, is immortalized in this artwork as one of boxing's legends. His exceptional skills and contributions to the sport led to his induction into the prestigious International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1997. On the other hand, little information is available about his opponent Ben Medley. The image showcases both fighters engaged in combat within an old-fashioned boxing ring. Their determined expressions reveal their dedication and passion for pugilism - a popular form of professional fighting during that era. This archival photograph allows us to delve into history and appreciate how far modern-day boxing has evolved. Ken Welsh's masterful reproduction ensures that this piece remains accessible for all who admire historical sports moments. Whether you are an avid fan or simply intrigued by England's sporting past, this print will transport you back to a time when bravery and skill clashed inside the squared circle.
