Help with Jack Johnson photo
Hi, All,
I just picked up this photo of the Jack Johnson-Willard fight in 1915. I am wondering if anyone can help me figure out its origins, date, value, etc. There is considerable silvering around the edges, and with the copyright of 1915 printed in the negative, I am guessing that it is a period photo, maybe printed in 1915, maybe a few years later? What throws me is that it is an 8x10, which strikes me as rather large for a press photo. Has anyone seen this photo, in this format? Any idea when it might have been printed and for what purpose? I did not spend too much on it and don't plan to sell right now, but I was wondering if anyone had an idea of valuation. Many thanks as always for any help. Brian |

Can you post a larger image using the actual tone of the photo, of both the front and back of photo?
Hard to tell much from the posted image, though my first impression is that it's likely a later generation print. Last edited by D. Bergin; 02-19-2017 at 11:54 AM. |

Thanks. Tried to post a larger image, but upload failed. I will try again later.
I also meant to mention that the photo was printed on double-weight paper, heavy stock almost like cardboard. |

hopefully, these scans are somewhat better. Thanks, David.

It looks old, but indeed may have been printed some time later. 8x10 is an unusual but not impossible size for 1915.
