Offered is an 8.5" x 12" broadside promoting one of the greatest pound for pound fighters in the history of the sport, Henry Armstrong. While it does not mention Armstrong's opponent for this bout the broadside does make note of Henry concurrently holding the Featherweight, Lightweight and Welterweight Championship belts at the time of the fight so it was likely for his August 17, 1938 battle with Lou Ambers at Madison Square Garden. This broadside was originally produced to advertise a showing of the fight in a movie theater as television was not yet widely available. Broadside remains in good condition with one missing corner.
