1974 Muhammed Ali Champion Black Light Poster

About the Item

Black light lithograph poster of Muhammed Ali, circa 1974. Published by Poster Originals, Hollywood, California, 1974, J. Sposato. Produced a year before Ali and Joe Frazier's Thrilla in Manila. In 1974, Ali was 32 and close to his peak prime abilities. Outspoken and brave, he transcended boxing and was hero and ambassador of good will, yet he was radical and caused much controversy during his career. He used words as well as his fists. The poster shows Ali holding up a glove with his image on it in victory. The glove image is smiling with mouthguard in place while the "other" Ali is giving us his menacing scowl. The poster is shrink wrapped and loose mounted on foam core. Ready to be framed. The piece is in good vintage condition with some light creasing due to being rolled up when stored. Soft corners and a small triangular corner missing on the lower right. No major visible tears. Good overall condition. Under a black light the colors flouresce. The poster measures approximately 22.5" wide x 34" high. Apologies for any glare.

  • 'Taxi Driver' Original Vintage Movie Poster, Australian, 1976
    By Guy Peelleart
    Located in Devon, GB
    Set amidst the moral decay of New York City following the Vietnam War and Watergate scandal, Martin Scorsese's 1976 psychological thriller "Taxi Driver" starred Robert De Niro as a lonely and disturbed anti-hero cab driver and war vet growing increasingly alienated and unhinged as his dreams of cleaning up the corrupt and sleazy city lead him down a path of violence, plotting to assassinate both a presidential candidate and the pimp of an underage prostitute, played by a 12 year old Jodie Foster. Widely regarded as one of the greatest films of all time, it was nominated for four Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Actor for De Niro and Best Supporting Actor for Foster. De Niro's "You talkin' to me?" scene, where he imagines a confrontation in front of a mirror, gave us one of the most iconic quotes in movie history. This Australian Daybill poster features the same atmospheric Guy Peellaert...
