On September 22, 1927, in Chicago heavyweight champion Gene Tunney defended his title against Jack Dempsey. In round seven of the rematch Dempsey dropped Tunney, but ignored referee Dave Barry's instruction to go to a neutral corner. This afforded Tunney a chance to recover. The fight was forevermore known as the "Long Count." Notable American artist Joseph Golinkin has captured the critical moment of the fight in this wonderful period lithograph. Not numbered, but limited to an edition of 50 and signed in pencil by the artist and by Jack Dempsey in 1981. This is an original limited edition lithograph. Bold, clear image. No creasing or tears. Minor spotting. 17x21" lithograph framed to 20.5x26". Incredibly rare.
