Help with Jack Johnson photo

[Brian]

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.

Here's both sides of that scene....hard to tell from your photo but likely and old copy...probably worth $150.00 or there abouts...very famous fight so there would have been lots of photos of it...but you don't see them around too much...

Here's a photo of that fight I picked up Nov 2012...you can see more photos and details in the link if you scroll down about 1/8th the page

Carlton,

Two posts above, the bottom image looks like an original, but they flipped the image when they printed it from the negative. It's not another angle, it's the same angle but reversed. I think most later prints you see of this image, is simply a more closely cropped image of that photo.

The larger Johnson / Jeffries photo you posted below that is spectacular.

I think the OP's version is probably a 1920's or 30's print that some news service bootlegged from another copy.

Thanks for the help, all.
Amazing photos, Carlton.
