Scarce original circa 1909 poster featuring Jack Johnson as "Champion of the World," 15.75 x 19.25, featuring him in a full-figure boxing pose, flanked by one image of his birthplace and another of him driving his car. The printed notice in the lower left corner reads: "Copyright 1909 by Brandt & Scheible." Professionally linen-backed and in very good to fine condition, with several expertly repaired tears. Printed shortly after Johnson took the heavyweight crown from Tommy Burns in Sydney, Australia, at the end of 1908, this is a classic early boxing piece.
