Description
A vintage black and white photographic print, likely a press photograph, depicting Joe Beckett, „England’s Heavyweight Champion, “ in a dynamic training pose, mid-punch, wearing boxing gloves and a tank top. The photographic style and historical context suggest an early 20th-century origin, detailing an anticipated British Empire heavyweight championship bout between Beckett and George Cook at the Holland Park rink. The reverse features typed annotations identifying the subject and bout details, a partially legible copyright stamp, likely from a news agency, and a „TELEPHONE: CITY 7070“ stamp.
