Vintage circa 1910s snapshot of famed Heavyweight Champion Jack Johnson, looking dapper in this wallet-sized 2.5x3.5" image. Small repaired tear at bottom, with Brown Brothers stamp on back. Known as the Galveston Giant, Johnson became the first Black boxer to win the Heavyweight crown, taking the title in 1908, and his size, style, and skin-color made him one of the most well-known performers of his era. Encapsulated PSA Type I Authentic.
