EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of triumph and celebration in Tom Cribbs' parlour at the Union Arms, Holborn. The focal point of the image is the prestigious Cribbs Cup, held up proudly by its namesake, Tom Cribb himself. This legendary English bare-knuckle boxer exudes confidence and accomplishment as he sits among a group of gentlemen in this regency-era scene. The atmosphere within the parlour is one of jubilation, with men gathered around to honor their champion. Each face displays admiration and respect for Cribb's remarkable achievements in the world of pugilism. As they raise their glasses in unison, it becomes evident that this gathering is not only about victory but also camaraderie. The artist's attention to detail shines through in this aquatint by Cruickshank from Pierce Egan's Life in London, published back in 1821. The vibrant colors bring life to every element within the composition - from the ornate furnishings adorning the room to each individual character present. This illustration offers a glimpse into a time when sportsmanship was celebrated with fervor and gentlemanly conduct prevailed. It serves as a reminder of Tom Cribb's legacy as an esteemed sportsman while capturing an era where such gatherings were cherished moments for those fortunate enough to be part of them.
