An Original Chromogenic 1975 Print of Muhammad Ali by Carl Fischer (Used for Ali-Frazier III Closed Circuit Program)
Carl Fischer, photographer and graphic designer, was born in 1924 and raised in Brooklyn.

Among the images from their photo session with Ali is this tight crop of the champion's striking face that would be used for the cover of the program.
