Original c. 1915 Philadelphia Jack O'Brien Silver Gelatin Portrait Photograph. He was one of the greatest Boxers of his era and is still ranked the #2 Best Light Heavyweight of all time. He fought Stanley Ketchel twice, Jack Johnson and other notables of his era and really did quite well. His career record was 145-16! The offered image is an absolutely beautiful specimen that is almost certainly unique. Although this is dated 1921 on the back, this is closer to a 1915 image based on the age of O'Brien and the paper and gelatin process used to produce the photo. Outstanding image from one of he best Boxers of his era!
