Joe Louis defended his heavyweight boxing title an astonishing twenty-five times and reigned as world champion for more than eleven years.

November 1925 found David and Frieda Lawrence on the Italian Riviera, looking for sun, sea air, and health.

November 1925 found David and Frieda Lawrence on the Italian Riviera, looking for sun, sea air, and health. The Lawrences were exhilarated by life in their rented villa, set amid olive groves and vineyards, with a view of the sparkling Mediterranean. The drab English winter couldn’t have been farther away.

Its contents reflect the incredible variety of Watts’s photographic subjects; from high school ice skaters, brooklyn biker gangs, lounging…
