Stunning collection of early images are fabulous quality silver gelatin prints from his days as Featherweight Champion of the World. Includes two important ring action images. We believe this fight is versus Tommy Sullivan who is wearing the World's Champion sash. This could very well be their 1904 rematch where Abe took the title back from Sullivan (each about 8x8''). Plus, there are four exceptional images of Abe posing to show off his muscles (average 4x5''). Photographs are the early thin and silvery type in the style of George Grantham Bain. Overall EX.
