Gelatin silver print. 1964. Printed 1970s. Stamp signed and estate stamped, verso. 10 x 8 in. (254 x 203 mm). Provenance: Morris Berman Estate. A seminal image that changed the way photographers looked at sports. The winner of numerous awards, it has been included in collections of the best sports photographs of the 20th Century and now hangs in the National Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.
