"Joe Edwards" was the alias for the welterweight German boxer Paul Maschke, who was a contender in the 'mixed rules' (boxing/wrestling) events that were taking place in parts of Europe.

On February 1, 1907, Paul Maschke ('Joe Edwards') (Boxing) defeated the Frenchman, Edmond Vary (Jiu Jitsu) in Berlin. There was a rematch on August 11, 1907, between Maschke and Vary (Jiu Jitsu), also in Berlin. One source states that Vary lost again, another, a newspaper article from August 18, 1907, calls it a draw. [1] [2] [3]

On May 17, 1908, in Copenhagen. Paul Maschke ('Joe Edwards') lost in a match with welterweight Johannes Jørgensen, (1867-1913), who used the alias "Jim Smith", [4]

Joe's wife, Rose "Edwards" was also a boxer. Two photographs of her are featured on Flickr.

how fabulous that flickr's reuniting families! were your Kellys from Ireland - probably the answer to that is, of course, so next question is, which part of Ireland?

Could be the boxer from Chicago: www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=30118&cat=boxer Could be the same as memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/r?ammem/cdn:@field(NUMBER+@b... and memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/r?ammem/cdn:@field(NUMBER+@b... from the Chicago Daily News.

Manager is probably Harry Gilmore Jr., son of Prof. Harry Gilmore (q.v.) Gilmore Jr. also managed Packy McFarland, another Chicago fighter photographed by Bain. Note that there is a (backwards) inscription at the right: S.S. 3-24-13. So it was either shot, developed, printed, or (what?) on that date, depending on who or what S.S. was.
