1942 Photograph of Joe Louis the famed fighter and heavyweight champion of the world as he shakes hands with military personnel shortly after fighting Buddy Baer for the benefit of the war-effort. Louis raised $47,000 for the war! Ironically despite his constant patriotic support for the country he loved, it would be the IRS and that very government that would plague Louis for his entire life! A beautiful image in nice shape, taken by Leo Lieb and stamped on the back.
