Highlighted by a framed original photo of Jess Willard and a scarce poster from 1909 of Jack Johnson, we have a misc. boxing collection. The Johnson poster is 16" x 20", with a copyright and "1909" over the bottom left. The poster is currently brittle, and needs to be handled carefully, with heavy toning and numerous small tears and areas of paper loss along the border. The Willard photo is 12" x 16", and matted and framed to 16 1/2" x 21". There does not seem to be any issues beneath the glass, with the NY photographer listed over the bottom left. Next, there is a 1938 W.A. & A.C. Churchman Jack Johnson boxing card (approx GOOD condition), a Joe Louis blank-backed card, a "World's Champions" poster featuring a number of boxers including John L Sullivan and James Corbett (23" x 28"), a "Gallery of Heavyweights that Cassius Clay joins" mounted to board (7" x 23 1/2"), and three boxing broadsides including Holmes vs Ali (13 1/2" x 21", poor condition, glued to cardboard) and Frazier vs Ellis (14" x 22", poor condition, with tears and tape residue). Rounding out the lot, there is also a pair of "Boxing" newsprint papers from 1939 (good condition) and more!
