Description

This black and white picture postcard features two men in uniform pants, bare chested and bare footed, boxing on the deck of a ship. A large group of uniformed sailors are gathered around, some seated and some standing, watching the match. The title handwritten along the bottom of the card reads "Boxing" and photographer information written in the lower right corner of the card. The back of the postcard identifies the item as a postcard and provides indication for correspondence, address, and postage stamp placement.
