Extremely Rare Verso-Signed Bob Fitzsimmons New Jersey Photo
This exceptional quality print is an early 1900s vaudeville promotional. Regally tuxedoed, the Christian-minded gentleman is early 1900s. It is signed on the verso in an extremely rare signature variant "Bob Fitzsimmons," who sent the item himself and has added his address Bound Brook, NJ." Beautiful NM-MT dark pencil autograph is above "Unity Photo Co." stamp. Three-tone added editorial paint for use in publications-could be removed, but it actually looks nicer this way. Double weight 8x10 has a couple of pin holes and three extremely light creases which are more like bends and barely breaks the paper in spots. Overall EX. Likely came from a publication's (newspaper?) files. Comes from the Al Grayber Collection, a boxer who once fought Harry Greb, and obtained directly from The Grayber Family.
