DescriptionThe image is an illustration for the publication Harper's Weekly. The composition consists of a large gathering of male figures; the figures are clothed in turn-of-the-century style dress and many wear top hats. The crowd gathers around a central open area in which four male figures stand: two boxers with bare torsos and raised fists face each other and two trainers stand behind their respective boxer. A landscape scene fills the background horizon line.
