ROBERT RIGGS Baer--Carnera.
Lithograph on cream Rives paper, 1934. 379x504 mm; 14 7/8x19 3/4 inches, wide margins. Edition size unknown but likely small (only 6 known impressions in public institutions and 6 impressions found at auction.) Signed, titled and numbered 4 in pencil, lower margin. Repaired edge tears and losses in the upper margin, one tear just inside the image. A very good dark impression of this scarce tour-de-force boxing print.
Max Baer knocked out Primo Carnera in the 11th round of their title fight on June 14, 1934 in Long Island City. Bassham 36.
