This brilliant piece of illustration art came from the other size of the world: Australia, and is from the esteemed Bill O'Loughlin Collection, who was one of Australia's top collectors going back decades. The piece was completed in 1908 by noted Australian illustrator Tom Sullivan. It measures 16.5x21.5" and looks like a photo of an illustration by Sullivan. It features Jack Johnson, the "Galveston Giant", and Canadian Tommy Burns. The bottom right corner says "Copyright". The back of the piece has water stains around the edges, but is otherwise in VG condition.
