Johnny Coulon is the name of the sitter in this glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection, which the Library of Congress holds. Coulon was a bantamweight boxer who fought in the early 1910s and held the world bantamweight title for a time, making him one of the notable fighters of his day. The Bain News Service, a New York photo agency, supplied pictures like this one to newspapers, and its glass negatives record the sporting and public figures that filled the city's papers in the years before 1920. The record gives no date for this image, so the exact year it was taken remains uncertain.
