1883 John L Sullivan Tobacco Premium Silk for "Cochrane's Turkey Red"
This is a beautiful tobacco-sponsored championship cloth for John L. Sullivan which has the logo for Cochrane's Turkey Red in the lower left corner. Sullivan is pictured in full fight pose and has his important fights listed around the perimeter including Elliot, Wilson, Slade, Mitchell and his championship victory over Paddy Ryan. Dated August 6, 1883 at the bottom. Color remains bold as does the print. Has some minor soiling and minor fraying at edges. Measures 20.5" x 25". One of the better Sullivan display pieces we have seen from early in his career.
