Product Overview
Jack Johnson and Arthur Cravan is a hand pulled, fine art lithograph by S2 Art of the original boxing poster. The artist is unknown.
The now vintage poster was created as promotional material for the boxing match between former world heavyweight champion, Jack Johnson and eccentric Englishman, Arthur Cravan (real name Fabian Lloyd). Johnson won the match but the next day The Daily Press called it "The Great Swindle" - suggesting that the fight was fixed due to the guaranteed 50,000 peseta purse.
The lithograph is pulled through a 19th century French Marinoni Voirin press on Rives BFK coltton paper.
This is not print or reproduction. It is a remastered, recreated, original work of art.
This piece was produced at S2 Editions Atelier, New York City under the guidance of the Ré Society, Ltd, and S2 Art company.
This lithograph bears the trademark of the Ré Society, plus the blind stamped emblem of the S2 Editions Atelier. The signature of the chromist is also printed unobtrusively on this lithograph in order to distinguish it from the original Golden Age poster.
The lithograph is sequentially numbered in pencil in the lower left border, by a curator at S2 Editions.
