    Description

    Antique Original 1910 Johnson vs. Jeffries The Incomparable Prize Fight Poster. Double printed on the other side with an ad for "The green mountain Vegetable Ointment".
    This is a Very rare item. I have seen two other originals and they were both glued down. Most that are for sale are reproductions.  I am not sure if all the originals are double sided or if this is a one of a kind. (The others are glued down so the opposite side was not shown)
    History - Item was recently found in an Apothecary collectors collection where the Johnson fight side was not even displayed....
    Condition.
    Colors look nice. Some age discoloration. Some rips and tears on the edges. Pin holes in corners. We have stabilized one tear near Johnsons face with acid free tape (pictured). We can also stabilize the edges the same way at buyers request. See photos
    Size 10" 1/2 x 13 7/8"
