Unlike most pugilists of the era, James J. Corbett was an educated man who practiced the science of boxing (not brawling), and even took the time to prepare this collection of personal photos into a scrapbook. The photos range from Corbett in boxing poses and gear, to relaxing days at the beach and ballpark. The collection also has a framed photo of Corbett's brother, and a photo of the launching of the SS James J. Corbett. Overall condition is EX.
