Highly unusual original 1935 photograph of the great dancer and the great boxer. The caption affixed to the verso reports that "The famous 'Brown Bomber' recently started training for his forthcoming bout with Max Baer. His training, however, was unique, for Bill Robinson, famed colored tap dancer, supervised. The purpose, according to Bill, was to improve Joe's footwork. Here they are seen in Detroit, Mich. 8 /14/35." Scattered edgewear and creases, else fine.
