Before photoshop or AI, there were artists at newspapers who put together works of art like this! The offered image is a composite photograph that shows what a fictional fight between Jack Dempsey and wrestler Strangler Lewis would look like and then speculated on the back about who might win! Issued by the International News and stamped on the back, this is the first example of this image we have ever seen and it is being offered here for the first time ever, fresh from a prominent archive.
