  Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Sweden before 1945, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

  The date in the top right corner looks like March 1912. If that's the case this photo could be part of the build up for the Fireman Jim Flynn fight that took place in Las Vegas that summer. Johnson won that fight and again defended his hard won heavy weight title. However, it was the last time he defended the title in the USA, fighting (and winning) twice in France before losing the crown to Jess Willard in Cuba in 1915. This photo could also be considered a mark of the end of Johnson's glory years. After the Flynn fight he would be forced to move abroad to aviod arrest for various claimed crimes and wouldn't return to the US for 7 years. His next fight in the US was in prison.

  This is one of 4 Bain Collection photos of Jack Johnson taken in the same place and apparently at the same time. This one is dated May 3, 1912

  I like how a hundred years ago they were able to tag their photos with so much information. And you didn't need $1500 worth of computer gear to see it.

• Donovan Beeson said:

  Well, these were "news" photos, so the photos were taken by photo journalists who understood the importance of documentation.

• mikescottnz said:

  Great documentation.
