1950's Original Boxing Wire Photos (160)
A giant group of wire photos (160) covering a large extent of the boxing culture of the 1950’s, including some particular luminaries such as world heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano, light heavyweight champ Archie Moore, world welterweight champion Tony DeMarco, world welterweight champion Kid Gavilan, and one of the greatest light heavyweights (and subsequent heavyweight champ) Ezzard Charles. Marciano beat Charles (in two classic battles), Charles beat Moore (three times), and DeMarco beat Gavilan. This whole collection flips like a classic assortment of movie stills (in “Raging Bull” black & white), mostly all action, with moments of bravura, humiliation, celebration, humor, brutality, but especially poetic athleticism, a virtual slideshow of dance and violence as only the ring could bring. Some to many of these pictures, on verso, carry wire photo stamps, affixed paper captions and production notes in pencil and wax pencil. Some have caption information directly on front of photo. Average size is a variation on 8x10".
