Offered is this unusual early boxing photograph highlighted with pastels. Brightly colored and highly detailed, every aspect of the subject boxer was highlighted to enhance the overall appearance. This hand-colored piece was likely done for the boxer himself, perhaps as a promotional piece or simply as a memento. We have never seen a boxing photo like this before, let alone one of this exceptional quality. Framed 19.5x23.5" overall, the ivory colored and gilded looking frame highlights the piece well giving the overall piece a distinguished appearance.
