A rare cabinet photo of John L. Sullivan by Frank Wendt Studios, circa 1890's. The back of the mount has been beautifully signed "Compliments of John L Sullivan" in black ink. 6.5 x 4 inches in very good condition. Minor wear and chipping to the edges/corners. There is a small stain just about Sullivan's head.
The Boston Strongboy remains the most recognizable face of bare-knuckle boxing, an iron-jawed and granite-fisted force of nature who built an unbroken streak of over 450 professional victories before falling to James 'Gentleman Jim' Corbett in his final ring appearance in 1892.
