1930s Skyscraper Publication Artwork Primo Carnera and Jess Willard

1930s Skyscraper Publication Artwork Primo Carnera and Jess Willard

This majestic art-deco styled piece of publication artwork shows the two giants of the heavyweight division to that time - Jess Willard, the Pottowatomie Giant, and Primo Carnera, the Amblin’ Alp - set against the New York skyline of skyscrapers, the not so subtle message being that these men were the boxing equivalents of the New York towers. Piece has actual photos of the boxers set over an illustration, mounted on board to 13.5x16.5" with a crack to top middle, and some wear and creasing at edges and corners. Still, a giant of a promotional piece.
