    Vintage Boxing Champion Tommy Gibbons in Action

    $19.95

    This photograph features Tommy Gibbons, a prominent figure in early 20th-century boxing. Gibbons was active in the sport from around 1910 to 1915, a time when boxing was gaining popularity in the United States. Known for his technical skills and sportsmanship, Gibbons is perhaps best remembered for his heavyweight bout against Jack Dempsey in 1920, which showcased the growing allure of the heavyweight division. The photograph hails from the Bain News Service, a major producer of news photography during this period, highlighting how sports and public figures were becoming increasingly accessible to the general audience.

    Captured as a glass negative, this image reflects the photographic techniques of its time, where images were recorded on glass plates before the advent of modern film. The clarity and detail typical of glass negatives present a striking portrayal of Gibbons, allowing viewers a glimpse into the eras boxing culture. The early 1900s was a notable turning point for the sport, with regulation improvements and increasing public interest that transformed boxing into a major form of entertainment. Tommy Gibbons stands as a symbol of this evolution, representing not just a fighter, but also the burgeoning professional sport that captured the imagination of many.
