Jack Dempsey Manassa Mauler Houdini Boxing New 11x17 Sepia Photo print Boxer photograph

The2FunAdGuyz offer a new, high quality reproduction print of a rare, vintage style, publicity photo featuring the most unlikely trio of Jack Dempsey, Benny Leonard and magician Harry Houdini fake sparring in front of a group of soldiers and civilians. The photo was taken by unidentified press photography. It shows Jack Dempsey about to slug Harry Houdini—while Benny Leonard holds him. The exact reasons for the photo, the date and location of the event are unknown although there is ample record of the three having known each other. The three were among the best-known Americans of the time because they were talented in their own way and none of them was ever camera shy. If by any chance a shopper knows the history of this photo, we would appreciate you emailing us with any details.
