Jeffries,James Antique Photo Postcard Before Johnson Bout 1910

: On July 4, 1910 Jack Johnson successfully defended his heavyweight title against Jim Jeffries, the former champion. Jeffries had retired undefeated champion after his last fight in 1904. Encouraged greatly by a racist public eager to get rid of Jack Johnson, Jeffries agreed to fight Johnson, but age and an almost six year lay-off, coupled with Johnson's great skill and youth proved to be too much. Jeffries was easily defeated in a one sided match. Presented here is an antique photo postcard of Jeffries training camp before the bout.
This postcard measures 3 1/2 inches by 5 1/2 inches.The postcard has small rust stains in the two right corners, most likely from tacks but no holes.The rest of the postcard is clean.No writing on the back.The image is vivid.
