Description
A postcard with a photo of boxer Tommy Burns of Los Angeles, Ex. Sup. Co., Chicago, 1921. The image shows the former heavyweight champion in a punching pose with his name and place of residence at the bottom left. On the reverse is a brief biography of the Canadian-born pugilist, born in 1881, and also noted for an Australian bout with Jack Johnson, which the latter won in 1908. With soiling, oxidation, abrasions, and creases, the condition is fair.
