  John Lemm was mentioned as wrestling champion of Germany and Switzerland in a New York Times article of December 11, 1910 (in the second of two articles in a .pdf avaiable here) The article mentions that Lemm had recently won a tournament held in London. Though it might or might not date from the time of that tournament, this photo bears the stamp of a London photographer of the era: P.W. Luton, 34 New Cross Rd., S.E..

  Thanks for the information. We found a reference to Percy William Luton in Pritchard's A Directory of London Photographers, 1841-1908, p. 83, so will add his name to the source data and reload the description.
