This Hal Coffman ilustration features hand drawn images of Jack Dempsey sparring with Gene Tunney and on the otherside is a drawing of Harry Wills coaxing the other 2 to come fight him. The composition is typical Coffman with comical blurbs and images that poke fun at a serious sport. The drawing measures 10 1/2 x 28 1/2" and has a 2" mat surrounding it which is marked up and could use replacing. The image itself is in VG condition with only minor age discoloration and the area around the drawing but exposed by the matting is full of editorial markings, proving it's authenticity.
