Vintage Boxing Photograph 4x6 B&W T.R. Couper 1886 Bare-Chested Boxer Portrait
Vintage black-and-white boxing photograph on paper showing general handling and age-related wear. Front image surface has scattered light scuffs and numerous fine scratch lines in the background, mild gloss disturbance, and slight edge and corner wear but no tears or pinholes. Reverse side is blank aside from handwritten identifications and date, with multiple patches of adhered paper and residue from scrapbook removal and small surface abrasions at those spots; sheet remains flat and intact.
Brand/Photographer: Unknown; vintage black-and-white sports photograph on paper with a handwritten front caption reading \"T.R. Couper.\" along the lower border.
The image shows a bare-chested boxer wearing light-colored Leggings, dark belt, and boots, posed in a classic fighting stance with one arm flexed and the other across his torso, set against a studio backdrop with a rope at waist height and architectural props in the background.
Medium and format: small-format black-and-white photographic print on semi-gloss paper stock with narrow white margins; the reverse side is plain card with handwritten identifications \"T. R. Couper\" in ink, a penciled date \"1886,\" and small initials near one corner.
The piece presents a documentary-style 19th-century boxing portrait suitable for framing or inclusion in collections of antique sports, people, and athletic-themed photographs.
This listing is for the single loose photograph shown; no mat, frame, or additional items are included.
