These are two stone lithographs advertising the fight film for the
Jack Dempsey vs. Georges Carpentier World Heavyweight Championship
fought at Jersey Coty, New Jersey on July 2, 1921. Dempsey stopped
Carpentier, the great French champion, in four rounds. This was the
first million dollar gate in boxing and the first heavyweight
championship to be broadcast by radio. These two magnificent
lithographs picture individually Dempsey and Carpentier in full fight
poses. The lithographs are one sheet size (approximately 26” x 40”)
and are in marvelous condition. Both were issued in 1921 following
the fight. These retain their bold color and exhibit only minor edge
wear. Both are rare, the Carpentier is especially hard to find, and
in this condition these lithographs are likely unique.
