<B>Circa 1892 James J. Corbett Imperial Cabinet Photograph.</B></I> The man who finally conquered the great John L. Sullivan, ending his pugilistic career in perhaps the most famous bout of the 19th century with a twenty-first round knock out at New Orleans' Olympic Club. Here we find the definitive photographic portrait of Gentleman Jim, with the "Hall" studio stamp at bottom placing the sitting at Broadway and 34th Street in New York City, currently the home of Macy's department store. While the sepia toned image has been remounted in recent years and shows a degree of truly expert restoration, it presents to all but the most eagle-eyed as a legitimately NRMT specimen. Image size is a kingly 10x13.5", with the mount bringing the total dimensions to 13.5x17.5".
