Great Vintage Oversized Boxing Photographs (3)
Notes: This is a great collection of vintage boxing photographs. The first captures the fight between the infamous African American Boxer Jack Johnson and middleweight champion Stanley Ketchel. The photograph measures 21 1/2 x 27 1/2” and captures the moment Johnson KO Ketchel in a bout between the two that took place in 1909. The condition of the image is EX with nice tonal qualities and remarkably good paper quality. The image is a bit grainy due to the large size of the print but it is a phenomenal image for a picture this vintage. The photo is framed to an overall size of 24 1/2 x 30 1/2”. The next image captures the fight between Joe Louis and Max Baer that took place in 1935. The image captures a rare moment in boxing history when Louis brought Baer to his knees, a first in the famed pugilist’s career.
