Outdoor Boxing
Description
Two men, possibly brothers based on their similar looks, spar in boxing gloves outdoors. This photograph was made near Forest Grove, Oregon, circa 1910-1914. The men wear shirts, bowties and slacks, and are standing in front of a hedge near a fenced-in field. They may have been friends of the photographer, William Alonso Clapshaw.
This is one image from a set of glass plate negatives created by William Alonso Clapshaw. Clapshaw was a clerk and shopkeeper who lived near Forest Grove, Oregon for most of his life. He was born in 1880, probably at the family's home in the Hillside neighborhood of Forest Grove, on what is now Clapshaw Hill Road east of Gales Creek. Around 1910-1914, William took an interest in photography and created a set of glass plate negatives documenting scenes near his family's lands as well as images of himself, his friends and family members. He most likely used a silver gelatin dry plate process. The photographs were donated to the Pacific University Archives in 2023.
