In the gritty streets of post-war London, two boys square off—gloves raised, determination in their eyes.


Frank Horvat’s "Boxing Boys, Lambeth, London, 1955" captures not just a scene, but a decisive instant: that fleeting moment when energy, emotion, and composition align perfectly, distilling the essence of childhood resilience and camaraderie.


This is the kind of split-second Cartier-Bresson described, where the visual and emotional elements of reality come together in perfect harmony, transforming a simple street game into a universal story of growing up.


Remarkably, this photograph was never printed during Horvat’s lifetime. Preserved in his archives for decades, it now emerges as a gelatin silver print, authenticated by the Frank Horvat Estate and signed by Fiammetta Horvat. Limited to an edition of just five, this print offers collectors a rare opportunity to own a piece of photographic history that truly deserves to exist in tangible form.


This newly released artwork is more than a document—it’s a testament to Horvat’s humanist vision and his ability to recognize and seize the decisive moment, freezing in time a scene whose meaning and energy might otherwise have vanished forever.


For collectors, it is a long-overdue celebration of an image whose power and poignancy are finally realized as a museum-quality print.
