1933 Photograph of the funeral of Ernie Schaaf, a prominent Heavyweight who died after being pummeled by the much larger Primo Carnera. He passed away on Valentines Day and this photo from his funeral is a touching reminder of the frailty of life. This is a crystal clear silver gelatin original in great shape issued by the International News and with a full paper caption on the back as well.
