Muhammad Ali is pictured in, out and around the ring on these 10 first generation photos. Ali is shown with his family, preparing for action and even in the ring. These are about 7" x 9" to 8" x 10" in length.
Five of the photos are laser images. The photo of Clay riding in a parade has moderate edge wear. These have at least one of the following on reverse: caption affixed, year indicated, date stamp, production notes or subjects written. All have a Chicago Sun-Times hologram stickered on reverse.
News service photos are also included, and in those instances, are identified as such by their respective stampings. Acme Wire Photo, Associated Press, International News, and United Press have provided images to the archives. Reverse images are included for identification purposes. As part of the production process for the newspaper, images may show production notes, photographer's stamps, date codes, and other markings associated with the production of the Chicago Sun-Times newspaper. In all cases, each selected image is of superior quality, subject matter, clarity, contrast and condition. Each image was archived by the Chicago Sun-Times and includes the official Chicago Sun-Times Archives hologram, assuring its origin and provenance. Additional MEARS LOA included with each lot.
