Limited Edition Muhammad Ali & Sports Prints by Chris Smith
In February 1964, at the 5th Street Gym in Miami, Chris Smith photographed a young Cassius Clay moments before his world title fight — with The Beatles by his side. That image, and many others from this remarkable collection, is available as a strictly limited, individually numbered silver gelatin print. Each print is produced on archival-quality fibre-based paper, personally signed by Chris Smith, and issued in a numbered edition. Once an edition sells out, it will never be reprinted.
