Colorful African-American boxer (1878–1946) who held the world heavyweight championship from 1908 to 1915 and whose achievements in and out of the ring created an unprecedented storm of racially charged controversy. Very rare full vintage fountain pen signature and inscription, “To Arthur from Arthur Jack Johnson, Good luck,” on an off-white 4.5 x 3.75 card, bearing a preprinted sentiment which reads, “Best wishes from Former Heavyweight Champion of the World,” and an image of Johnson. In fine condition, with a staple hole to top, a couple light bends, and a hint of trivial soiling. This example is the first full signature of Johnson we have seen.
