EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in all his rugged glory is Charles Prasser, better known as Sailor Burke, a formidable force to be reckoned with in the world of boxing. This striking print, taken between c1910 and c1915 by renowned photographer George Grantham Bain's news service, showcases the welterweight champion boxer standing tall outdoors. The black and white image exudes confidence and strength, as Sailor Burke gazes directly into the lens with a hint of intensity in his eyes.
A true New York City native, Prasser was known for his impressive skills inside the ring, earning him widespread recognition during this era. This photograph not only captures his athletic prowess but also conveys a sense of masculinity and rugged individualism that defined many men's roles at the time.
As part of Bain News Service's extensive archive, this print is now preserved in the Library of Congress' Heritage Images collection, offering a unique glimpse into America's sporting past. This image not only celebrates Sailor Burke's achievements but also serves as a testament to George Grantham Bain and his news service's commitment to documenting life during this pivotal moment in history.
