The earliest one I've come across is of Joe Louis,circa 1935/36. Anyone seen any that are even earlier ?
yes....great one of battling nelson in 1911...it'll stun you brother... nobody else post till i get it ....got in on photobucket somewhere
what a fail....make a tit of meself again....not colour...dunno why i thought it was.....anyway...what you didnt ask for... This content is protected
on Antiquities of the Prize Ring there are some old colour ones, you know the studio profile pic, with early colouring techniques
looks like Antiquities of the Prize Ring is still down, the owner passed away, but it looks like the family have'nt kept it going yet(???). This content is protected not the earliest but a good one none-the-less.
Preferably bona fide colour. I have a feeling that the Joe Louis one I mentioned in my opening post comes under that category. By all means do some early colourised ones too.
Good pic,but the one I was referring to was taken around ten years earlier than this was ! Can't find it on the Net though.
