Original c. 1910 photograph of black boxer Jack Johnson along with a friend, likely at a baseball game, during the height of his career. From a vintage scrapbook and offered here for the first time ever, It is important to mention also that the scrapbook itself was featured in a Ken Burns documentary on Jack Johnson as it also has images of the 1919 World Series in the book. It is important that this image was taken by a black fan who attended the games from Chicago and was a member of the White Sox Rooters, but clearly had access to Johnson as a friend as well! The photo is unique and will get a Type 1 from PSA with ease!
