Jack Dempsey Signed Photo

Description: Jack Dempsey Signed Photo - COA JSA Jack Dempsey Signed Photo - COA JSA Nicknamed Kid Blackie and The Manassa Mauler, Jack Dempsey was an American professional boxer who competed from 1914 to 1927, and reigned as the world heavyweight champion from 1919 to 1926. A cultural icon of the 1920s, Dempseys aggressive fighting style and exceptional punching power made him one of the most popular boxers in history. Presented is an autographed photo of Jack Dempsey. He signed the photo (3.75″ x 4″) in black felt tip (“9”) with the inscription, Good Luck. It was clipped delicately from the 1959 book, “Pictorial History of Television.” This photo features Dempsey in Life. Also to note, an additional signature appears on the back of the photo as a bonus showcasing the immense collection of autographs this is from. The autographs were part of a larger compilation within the book. Note, there were two books in this collection from which these autographs were obtained. Wildly obsessive by a Hollywood insider no doubt it featured the duteous task of 400 signatures of television actors and actresses, nearly all signed by their respective images, with a few adding brief inscriptions in the books. Now, the signatures have been wonderfully conserved from the books and preserved singly for appreciation. Television’s intention was to revolutionize America’s desire for more entertainment. Previously for enjoyment, Americans were flocking to the theater or stationed next to their radio for their daily broadcasts. Before the end of 1931 as the industry gained a full-steam-ahead approach, CBS President William Paley, announced they were, “on the air seven hours daily, seven days a week.” In 1959, Daniel Blum caught up with the history of the television industry by providing a first look at the medium in the form of a photography book. Titled, “Pictorial History of Television” the publication peeked into the earliest conception in the 1930s toward it’s humble beginnings in the late 1940s into the late 1950s. The hardcover is a heavily photo-illustrated survey of the major programs and personalities of that time period (the 1930s-50s). Notably, the era of television like the silent film is rapidly vanishing from first-hand accounts and memories as generations get older. So, there is the importance behind this work. Blum continued his cavalcade of media books later in his career with “A Pictorial History of the Talkies”, “The Silent Screen”, “The American Theatre” and “Television” and of course volumes and volumes of the “Theatre World” and “Screen World” Annuals. Overall, the autographed photo presents as a reward for the tremendous complication of both television history and the latter arduous task of signature collecting.
