COMMENTS:
This Large Format boxing photo comes from a collection found in an estate in the Shandon, Ohio area just north of Cincy.  It is part of a large collection of these rare images that were collected many years ago by the gentleman who originally owned them, when he was a youth.  This Scarce Giant Oversize photo shows a great glimpse of a Historic Moment In Time.  It will look great framed and matted (to me, the ideal display would be a similar layout to my main picture with the photo above the banner).  I hope you find this piece of history as interesting as I do!
