EDITORS COMMENTS
Unfazed and unwavering in his determination to take down Al Panzer in their upcoming heavyweight bout, Bombardier Billy Wells stands tall outside a Rye, New York residence on a crisp morning in August 1912. The English boxer's rugged features are set firmly against the backdrop of an American summer day as he prepares for what promises to be a thrilling match.
Wells' intense gaze and flexed muscles betray his focus and readiness to face off against Panzer in the ring. His semi-naked state, with only boxing gloves adorning his hands, serves as a testament to his unyielding dedication to the sport of pugilism.
Captured by renowned photographer George Grantham Bain's lens, this black-and-white portrait offers a glimpse into the mental and physical preparation that defines top-tier boxers like Wells. As he stands poised on the cusp of battle, Bombardier Billy Wells embodies the very essence of determination and grit - qualities that will serve him well in his upcoming showdown with Panzer.
