Unpublished Muhammad Ali, boxing sport photographs. Over 200 unpublished black and white photos of Muhammad Ali taken during an advertising shoot in London for Amstel Malta c1971. Comprises the original 35mm negatives, original test sheets, black and white 7.5" x 10.5" portrait of Ali with miniature and three 12" x 8.5" later printed photos, one showing Ali with the production crew. Note the images were not printed onto paper at the time. These 208 images follow the event from initially signing the contract, talking to crew and Heineken officials, hair and make-up, chatting with kids, to action poses while the video advert was being shot. Most of the shots depict Ali in his boxing clothing against the white studio backdrop and the quality is crisp to most. There are many very striking informal images captured including those with Ali in thought. The current vendor owned the Film production company commissioned to produce the Muhammad Ali Amstel advert and personally shot the 35mm film footage being offered in the other associated lot. The amateur photos of the event were taken by a colleague at his request and as such it is believed ownership rights therefore lay with the vendor. The vendor has provided a letter formally passing on all of his rights to the photos to the new owner, this will be given to the winning bidder. PLEASE NOTE RWB AUCTIONS DOES NOT PERSONALLY GUARANTEE ANY RIGHTS OFFERED WITH THE SALE OF THESE PHOTOGRAPHS.
