  • 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.

  • The Cambridge Companion to Boxing Edited by Gerald Early Frontmatter More Information I
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-05801-9 — The Cambridge Companion to Boxing Edited by Gerald Early Frontmatter More Information i The Cambridge Companion to Boxing While humans have used their hands to engage in combat since the dawn of man, boxing originated in ancient Greece as an Olympic event. It is one of the most popular, controversial, and misunderstood sports in the world. For its advocates, it is a heroic expression of unfettered individualism. For its critics, it is a depraved and ruthless physical and commercial exploitation of mostly poor young men. This Companion offers engaging and informative chapters about the social impact and historical importance of the sport of boxing. It includes a comprehensive chronology of the sport, listing all the important events and per- sonalities. Chapters examine topics such as women in boxing, boxing and the rise of television, boxing in Africa, boxing and literature, and boxing and Hollywood fi lms. A unique book for scholars and fans alike, this Companion explores the sport from its inception in ancient Greece to the death of its most celebrated fi gure, Muhammad Ali. Gerald Early is Professor of English and African American Studies at Washington University in St. Louis. He has written about boxing since the early 1980s. His book, The Culture of Bruising , won the 1994 National Book Critics Circle Award for criticism. He also edited The Muhammad Ali Reader and Body Language: Writers on Sports . His essays have appeared several times in the Best American Essays series. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-05801-9 — The Cambridge Companion to Boxing Edited by Gerald Early Frontmatter More Information ii © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-05801-9 — The Cambridge Companion to Boxing Edited by Gerald Early Frontmatter More Information iii THE CAMBRIDGE COMPANION TO BOXING EDITED BY GERALD EARLY Washington University, St.
