Description: | This poster was produced to advertise a show by the 1st Battalion of the King?s Royal Rifles at Bishopsgate Institute in the City. These shows, which included fights with swords and bayonets, as well as wrestling, boxing, and other such disciplines, were a common way for martial prowess to be displayed. The poster highlights the preoccupation with physical fitness and national defence that was common at the time. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | Unknown Copyright | Subjects: | work Leisure Sport | Temporal: | 1908 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
