This interesting collection of material includes: 1) Six 2.25" full color negatives/transparencies are rare posed shots taken in Zaire in preparation for the "Rumble In The Jungle." 2) Comes with matching one-of-a-kind 8x10" Type I black & white contact sheet created by the photographer and stamped on verso. Contact sheets are a hot collectible category unto themselves, used by photographers to choose the best images for reproduction.
The original negatives and images in this collection are by the personal photographer of Muhammad Ali's manager Herbert Muhammad. Unpublished, they have not seen the light of day for five decades. Recently discovered, they come with the photographer’s rights. All of the negs/transparencies are unique, “Type I” images that can be used to make prints and products of the finest quality and huge scale.
