Johnson was flamboyant and outspoken, and bucked many of the social "rules" of the day. He was as controversial as he was gifted in the ring and is still regarded as one of the greatest heavyweights in history. Offered here is unquestionably the finest studio portrait made of Johnson in the hobby today. Made at Dobson Studio in Liverpool, England, it measures 7.25x9.75" and has been boldly penned "Yours Truly Jack Johnson-Jan 19-1916-To Hasselgrave." A true "Perfect 10" inscription! Autographs of Johnson on photos are extremely rare and were impossible to acquire on a cabinet photo of this quality until now. This EX-MT+ specimen (only due to minor surface ships on the edge) is without a single peer. This lot is for the discerning collector that only seeks the best.
