A champion and a gentleman, Joe was a class act in and out of the ring. Taken in the later years of a career that would make him a legend, a baby-faced Joe Louis is captured here during this private photo shoot. Signed, “To Pete Craig, Not only my Friend but My Comrade. Joe Louis, 12/17/47”. Gorgeous photo is sepia toned, with a ? inch tear in the top right corner, o/w NRMT.
