"Boxing in England" is an illustration from the work "Il Costume Antico e Moderno" (Ancient and Modern Costume), a comprehensive study of the world's clothing traditions, authored by Giulio Ferrario and published in Milan in 1819 by Vittorio Raineri. The illustration is part of a larger collection that aims to depict various aspects of cultural attire, customs, and practices from different historical periods and regions around the globe.

The image specifically captures a scene of the sport of boxing as it was practiced in England during the early 19th century. This period was significant in the development of modern boxing as it saw the transition from bare-knuckle fighting to the codification of the sport with the introduction of the London Prize Ring Rules in 1838. The illustration is likely to depict the earlier form of the sport, reflecting the attire, stance, and equipment of the time, which differed markedly from contemporary boxing.

Giulio Ferrario's work is notable for its detailed engravings and its attempt to provide an ethnographic account of costumes and customs. "Boxing in England" serves as a historical document that not only captures the style and technique of early 19th-century English boxing but also reflects the broader cultural interest in documenting and understanding diverse social practices through visual representation.

As an illustration within Ferrario's larger work, "Boxing in England" contributes to the visual historiography of sports and leisure activities, offering insights into the physical culture of the time. The image would be of particular interest to historians of sport, fashion, and culture, as well as to enthusiasts of boxing history, providing a glimpse into the evolution of the sport and its role within English society.
