Trimmed to 4 1/8" x 8 1/4" beautiful vintage photo of featherweight champion Tommy Warren who several years after this photo was taken shot and killed a man in a Texas saloon. The photo was taken by notable sports photographer John Wood; advanced collectors will instantly recognize the image from Warren's N174 Old Judge card (an example of which is featured elsewhere in this auction). The "classic" image of Warren that is seemingly used in every modern biographical account of Warren's life. Well-worn with corner and edge wear tack holes at the top and bottom of the photo and writing on the reverse (along with the stamped number "69"). An exceptional cabinet photo taken by a famous photographer and used for Warren's Old Judge card.
