Description

A photograph of seven boxers inside an arena, probably Hollywood, Los Angeles, 1920s. The image shows the men, all dressed in suits and ties, standing in an open area in front of a boxing ring, which is surrounded by seats. Part of the roof structure and one end wall are also in view and the man on the far right is pointing to something high up to the left, which all but one of the men is looking at. An advertisement on the end wall mentions Hollywood, hence the assumed locale. On the reverse are pencil and pen inscriptions identifying the boxers. With some edge tears, a small part of the lower right corner missing, a few creases, some small stains, browning and light soiling, the overall condition is good.
