EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Henry Armstrong, a legendary American boxer. Taken by renowned photographer Carl Van Vechten in 1937, this image showcases Armstrong's strength and determination as he stands confidently in his boxing gear. Henry Armstrong, born in 1912 and passed away in 1988, was an African American athlete who made history with his remarkable boxing career. Known for his incredible stamina and relentless fighting style, Armstrong became a three-weight world champion during the early years of professional boxing. In this particular shot, Armstrong is seen wearing his gloves and shorts while standing against a backdrop featuring the name "Jackson". The backdrop adds an intriguing element to the photo, hinting at perhaps an important fight or event that took place during that time. Armstrong's muscular physique is evident as he poses with poise and confidence. His strong presence radiates from the image, showcasing why he was considered one of the greatest boxers of all time. This stunning print from Granger Art on Demand pays homage to Henry Armstrong's legacy as an exceptional athlete. It serves as a reminder of his contributions to both African American sports history and the sport of boxing itself.
