1925 Photograph of "The Black Panther" Harry Wills as he posed in the gym for a spectacular photograph. This is an amazing clear image in which you can almost see the weight of the world on Wills' face after years and years of waiting for a chance that never came. Wills was the greatest fighter of his generation but in the world post Jack Johnson, nobody was ready for another black champion so rather than risk it, they just never gave him an opportunity to fight for the title! A poignant image with crystal clarity, the photo is his finest we have ever handled! Issued by the Keystone View Co. and with a full paper caption on the back.
