Original artwork rendered in black ink by the Examiner's resident artist, Gates, is an adaptation of Archibald MacNeal Willard's "Spirit of '76" masterpiece, this time starring Giants Mays, Marichal, and McCovey. Very appropriate given the seven-game war they had recently waged against the Yank Champions. Original press clipping. EX-MT. 9x12".

Included throughout this auction is a diverse mix of subjects including sports, historical, political, transportation, Hollywood, and all facets of entertainment.
