Description

"Uneasy is the head that wears the crown"

Terrific ink signature, "Uneasy is the head that wears the crown, yours truly, Champion, Jack Johnson, Oct. 8-1914,” on an off-white 3.5 x 4.25 sheet. In fine condition. Encapsulated in a PSA/DNA authentication holder. A true heavyweight signature made all the more desirable by Johnson's opening caveat, a phrase inspired by Shakespeare's play Henry IV, Part 2.
