5 Defining Pictures of the Bare Knuckle Era

[@Poohze01]

Great set of pictures. I don't think I knew about Cruikshanks' 14ft Magnum Opus - what a resource! More on that would be good. That picture of Tom Molyneaux makes me burn - I know why you included it, and it's historically important, but It'd make me happy to see one of the more respectful pictures of him next time. The way he was treated is infuriating, even after all these years. I guess that means we're really 'engaging with history'.

Yes, 100%

I laughed when you said Tom and Jerry. kind of got a cartoone from my childhood in my head.

[@EnglishMartialArts]

I've heard people say the two are connected, but I've not managed to find it if there is a connection.

Sir I am running out of accolades! However with that being stated. FIGHT TEAM! Sorry for exuberance, I enjoyed your video lecture. You have once again brought a bit of joy too an elderly gentleman. Thank you Sir and God bless you and family!

Interestingly, about a year ago I was commissioned to imitate the style of Cruickshank for an illustration for a TTRPG book

[@EnglishMartialArts]

That's really cool!

In reference to the depiction of the Tom Molaneaux reminds me of the adage: "If you are studyung history and you don't feel uncomfortable, you probably aren't studying history." Fight team!

[@EnglishMartialArts]

I like that line!

[@johnstuartkeller5244]

[@zachleprieur2871]

14ft of illustrations would be cool to see it all in person. The skill it must've took to make it.

[@EnglishMartialArts]

Yeah, what an achievement!

I mean, England was an Imperial power, and those are usually (at least in part) informed by feelings of superiority on the part of those who are part of the Imperial caste or 'race', and feelings of inferiority towards those who belong to the 'vanquished' or conquered castes or 'races'.

[@EnglishMartialArts]

Yes indeed, we just need to make sure we don't pretend it was OK because of that.

[@davidemelia6296]

Of course! I appreciate you bringing it up in your video!@@EnglishMartialArts
