Original Cassius Clay Childhood Photograph
One of the finest pieces of Ali memorabilia that we have ever handled, this hand-tinted oval photograph captures the American icon and boxing legend in his 7th or 8th year, circa very early 1950’s, with Victorian-styled knickers and bow-tied shirt, already practicing that squint of intimidation we, and his opponents, have all come to know so well. Photo is in its original, ornate oval frame, measures 11 ½ x 17 ½”, and is EX. Along with this amazing elliptical masterpiece of Ali as a child, is a black-framed display (15 x 23”) of five images from the Greatest’s early days in Louisville, Kentucky, including b/w photo of him and a sibling, his childhood home and school, his namesake (a Jr. to his father, who in turn was named after abolitionist, Cassius M. Clay), and a pointillist drawing of Clay as an child. Amazing piece, with an equally intimate supporting pictorial.
