Boxing's first three-division champion puts up his dukes for this phenomenal cabinet card, which was shot by top San Francisco photographer Bushnell. Robert Fitzsimmons is pictured shirtless and wearing his championship belt around the turn of the last century. This spectacular piece is fresh to the market and still housed in its original frame, which measures 26.5x22.5", the card itself measures 12.5x16". There is minor water staining to the edges, but that hardly diminishes from its overall grandeur. Simply one of the finest we have seen. "Ruby Robert" Fitzsimmons still holds the record for lightest Heavyweight Champion.
