Appears to be just an unknown fighter, but this image is truly special. Dazzling image of a bare-chested fighter wearing the earliest of "long gloves" in the James J. Corbett style of the 1890's. Quality of the image is sumptuous. From his rippling abs to the laces of his high-topped shoes you can see every brilliant detail. Photo itself is 12x24" and appears to be on a heavy cardboard mount. It appears to be Mint and has never been opened from its original frame with oak backing. Frame itself is woody and has a true flavor of mission oak from the early Arts & Crafts period. Overall 17.5x29.5" and one of the finest boxing photographs we have offered.
