Out of this world pair celebrates the films of the 1921 bloody bout between the European champ and the Manassas Mauler. At the time this was the biggest event since the Johnson-Jeffries fight of the previous decade. In "Five Reels of Terrific Action" Dempsey basically beat the pulp out of this guy. Stone litho posters have graphics that are as good as they get. They are magnificent with lithography as good as any boxing posters you will ever see. Each measures 27x41" and has been lovely preserved on linen securing these relics as grist for the ages. "Official Poster" by the Otis Lithograph Company. Ding!
