"Poster advertising the Jeffries-Johnson boxing match, 1910" is a historical piece of sports memorabilia created by an artist known as Ralph to promote the heavyweight championship bout between James J. Jeffries and Jack Johnson. This boxing match, which took place on July 4, 1910, in Reno, Nevada, was one of the most anticipated events of its time, often referred to as the "Fight of the Century." The match was significant not only for its sporting importance but also for its racial and social implications, as it featured Jeffries, a white former champion coming out of retirement to face Johnson, the first African American world heavyweight boxing champion.

The poster itself is emblematic of early 20th-century advertising, featuring bold typography and imagery designed to capture the attention of the public and generate excitement for the event. It typically would have showcased the fighters in a dramatic pose, emphasizing the contrast between the competitors and highlighting the stakes of the match. The use of such posters was a common practice in the era to promote events, and they were often displayed in public areas to reach a wide audience.

As an artifact of its time, the poster not only represents the marketing strategies of early boxing promotions but also serves as a cultural document, reflecting the racial tensions and societal attitudes of the early 1900s in the United States. The Jeffries-Johnson match was surrounded by controversy and racial animosity, with Jeffries being touted by some as the "Great White Hope" to reclaim the heavyweight title from Johnson.

Today, the poster is of interest not only to boxing enthusiasts and sports historians but also to those studying the history of advertising, race relations, and cultural dynamics in the early 20th century. Original copies of the poster are considered rare and are sought after by collectors, serving as a reminder of a pivotal moment in sports history and the power of visual media to influence public perception.
