GEORGE BARNES
3½x5½ photo of the Australian boxer in the ring, with a signed autograph note on verso ("thanks mate"). predicting victory in his upcoming fight
Photograph inscribed and signed on verso: "Dear Frank,/Thanks/mate for well wishes./I expect to win on the/9th May./Regards/George Barnes/Empire Welter/Champion/3-5-60". B/w, 3½x5½. George Barnes (b. 1920) won the Australian welterweight boxing crown in 1953, adding the British Empire title in the same weight class the following year. After several successful defenses, he lost both titles in 1956, but regained them in 1959. His optimism about his impending bout proved unfounded, as he lost the Empire championship to Brian Curvis, but he retained the Australian crown until early 1962, retiring after losing it. Creased and worn on edges and corners. Top edge stained above note.
