Condition
This chromogenic print, on Agfa paper, is in generally very good condition. The colors remain rich and saturated, with no apparent fading. The following are visible upon close examination: tiny white deposits, mostly in the darkest areas of the print; and, in raking light, scattered soft and sharp crescent-shaped handling creases that do not appear to break the emulsion.
This photograph is accompanied by the 26 June 1999 issue of 'Sports Illustrated.' It is inscribed in ink on the cover, possibly by Ali.
