1919 Unique photograph of the new Heavyweight Champion of the World, Jack Dempsey, as he plays a game of billiards just days after he became the champ. Stamped on the back by NEA and offered here for the first time ever, this provides a cool look at the greatest fighter of his era! The photo is from a series that NEA did on the fighter just a few days after he won the title with this being the only known example of this pose in the world! There are a few light creases at the corners but overall it presents really well.
