On October 13, 1913 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin lightweights Ad Wolgast and Battling Nelson battled in the main event. At the end of ten rounds Wolgast was awarded the decision. Offered here is an original poster, picturing Ad Wolgast, advertising the showing of the fight film from this fight. This poster is paper and has been professionally linen backed. It has bold color and a bold, clear, graphic depiction of Wolgast. It is not creased, but there is some light restoration and some bubbling of the paper. 27.5x42" (one sheet), VG condition. Scarce early 20th century poster.
