EDITORS COMMENTS
The Body Holt and Neck Double, Wrestling Display: A Glimpse into Victorian Combat". This print takes us back to the 19th century in Aldershot, Hampshire. The image showcases a wrestling bout between two strong British Army soldiers, demonstrating their physical prowess and combat skills. Created by Gregory & Co for The Navy and Army Illustrated in October 1896, this artwork captures an intense moment of strength and determination. The wrestlers are locked in a powerful hold, showcasing the concept of hand-to-hand combat that was prevalent during this era. Their muscular bodies strain against each other as they engage in a fierce struggle for dominance. This display of physicality reflects both the sport of wrestling itself and the military training these men underwent. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from history, we can't help but admire the resilience and discipline exhibited by these soldiers. It serves as a reminder of the dedication required to serve one's country during times of war. With its monochromatic aesthetic, this print transports us to a time when warfare was fought face-to-face rather than through modern technology. It offers us a glimpse into an era where physical strength played an integral role on the battlefield. Gregory & Co have expertly captured not only the essence of wrestling but also the spirit of Victorian Britain with this remarkable piece. As we observe these brave men grappling with each other, it is impossible not to be captivated by their unwavering determination and sheer power.
