As the title indicates, there certainly were "fireworks" that July 4th in Reno, but despite the accompanying cartoon that depicts otherwise, it was Jeffries who got lit up over the course of fifteen rounds. The postcard, manufactured by F.G. Henry Co. in 1910 with artwork by "Lec", shows light but even toning from age and is written in pencil on the verso. VG-EX. 3.5x5.5"
