B&W, 1958. Vintage ferrotype, fiber-based silver gelatin print. Referred to by many as "the greatest game ever played," this photograph is from the 1958 football game between the Baltimore Colts and the New York Giants. Neil cropped this photograph to make it a stronger submission to magazines; it served as the inside front cover of Dell's Sports Magazine after the game. His photographer's stamps are on verso, in addition to pencil notation referring to the Ameche touchdown. Signed in ink by Neil Leifer on verso. 7.5 x 9.5in.
