Years removed from the days during which he was known as the Boston Strongboy, a more distinguished, silver-haired "Great John L." posed for this handsome studio photo. A fantastic image still affixed to its original mount, it boasts superior contrast, clarity and quality deserving of the grade NRMT. Signed, "Compliments of John L. Sullivan-To Miss Kate Hawkins-Jan. 28th 1907", in black fountain pen ink that is 7/10 only due to a small scuff that interferes with the "Joh" of "John". Double matted and framed to 17"x21".
