In the Ring, Beautiful WW2 Boxing Photo #1 flying dove Total delight to find this

Total delight to find this one and to realize its transformative powers

often but not always with one "white" side and one "black"-- here with the two sides pretty much exact mirrors of one another

made great use of these as they learned to read and write

very much part of the piece

and believe it dates to to the earlyish 20th century

In the Ring, Beautiful WW2 Boxing Photo #1 flying dove Total delight to find thisI have a weakness for old photos of boxers, and even more so of boxing matches themselves the most brutal of sports, but also the most elemental; an intimate, acutely focused sort of call and response dance. This is one of two photos found together, each capturing a moment from a different match, between navy sailors, WW2, I believe. Captured in motion, beautifully framed, with wonderful expressions on the faces of the crew watching closely. 5 1 8" x
