  • Georges Carpentier Sur La Riviera En Février 1912, Stéphane Hadjeras
    Georges Carpentier sur la Riviera Février 1912 Stéphane Hadjeras Doctorant en histoire Contemporaine - Université de Franche Comté A la fin de l’année 1911, Georges Carpentier n’avait même pas 18 ans et pourtant sa carrière de pugiliste semblait avoir pris un tournant majeur pour au moins deux raisons. D’abord le 23 octobre, devant un public londonien médusé, il devint, en infligeant au King’s Hall une sévère défaite au britannique Young Joseph, le premier champion d’Europe français. Puis, le 13 décembre, au Cirque de Paris, à la grande surprise des journalistes sportifs et autres admirateurs du noble art, il battit aux points le célèbre « fighter » américain, ancien champion du monde des poids welters, Harry Lewis. Accueilli, en véritable héros à son retour de Londres, par plus de 3000 personnes à la Gare du Nord, plébiscité par la presse sportive après son triomphe sur l’américain, ovationné par un Paris mondain de plus en plus féru de boxe, Georges Carpentier fut en passe de devenir en ce début d’année 1912 l’idole de toute une nation. Ainsi, l’annonce de son combat contre le britannique Jim Sullivan, le 29 février, à Monte Carlo, pour le titre de champion d’Europe des poids moyens, apparut de plus en plus comme une confirmation de l’inéluctable ascension du « petit prodige »1 vers le titre mondial. Monte Carlo. L’évocation de ce lieu provoqua chez le champion un début d’évasion : « La Cote d’Azur, la mer bleue, le ciel plus bleu encore, les palmiers, les arbres avec des oranges ! J’avais vu des affiches et des prospectus.

  • A/03/49 W. Howard Robinson: Collection
    A/03/49 W. Howard Robinson: Collection Lewisham Local History and Archives Centre Lewisham Library, 199-201 Lewisham High Street, London SE13 6LG The following items were received from Mrs Gillian Lindsay: Introduction W. (William) Howard Robinson was a noted representative artist and portrait painter of the early twentieth century. He was born on 3 November 1864 in Inverness-shire and attended Dulwich College from 1876 to 1882. He followed his father, William Robinson, into the Law and after a brief legal career studied Art at the Slade School under Sir Simeon Solomon. His professional career as a portrait painter began circa 1910 when his interest in the sport of fencing led him to sketch all the leading fencers of the day, these sketches were reproduced in the sporting publication “The Field” leading to further commissions for portraits with a sporting theme. He became well-known for his sketches and portraits of figures in the sporting world such as Lord Lonsdale, Chairman of the National Sporting Club. His two best known paintings were “An Evening at the National Sporting Club” (1918) and “A Welsh Victory at the National Sporting Club” (1922). This first painting was of the boxing match between Jim Driscoll and Joe Bowker, it took Robinson four years to complete and contained details of 329 sporting celebrities. The second painting commemorated the historic boxing match between Jimmy Wilde and Joe Lynch that took place on 31 March 1919 and shows the Prince of Wales entering the ring to congratulate the victor, the first time that a member of the royal family had done so.
