Jack Johnson Photograph (PSA Type III)

Jack Johnson Photograph (PSA Type III)

<p><span style="font-size: 13px;">Vintage&nbsp;photo capturing former heavyweight boxing champion Jack Johnson. The nattily attired Johnson is pictured on the street shaking hands with a uniformed individual as a number of men look on. Because he was an African American, Johnson was a lightning rod with regard to racial issues in the United States and he later had to leave the country to avoid being imprisoned for&nbsp;violation of the Mann Act. Despite the overt racism he encountered, he was still a&nbsp;major celebrity and, as one can see here, well received by many members of the general public. A Brown Brothers&nbsp;credit stamp appears on the reverse, along with Johnson's name written in pencil. The photo (4.75x6.5") displays two tiny corner chips at the base, as well as a few light creases. In Very Good condition.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: small;">Culled from the legendary Brown Brothers Photo Archive. PSA encapsulated as Type III Authentic.&nbsp;</span></p>
