Sensational 1890s cabinet photo featuring John L. Sullivan graded VG 40 by SGC. The card image is somewhat faded with some staining and foxing as is the case with many 19th Century photographic issues. Sullivan's boxing record is printed on the reverse an interesting element of the card. A facsimile autograph is printed on the mount as well enhancing the display characteristics of the piece even further. One of many cabinet photos of Sullivan that were produced by a variety of studios in the late 19th Century this is a particularly pleasing example.
