Boxing. Pictures. Circus Amar. Dauthuille. LaMotta. Halimi. - Lot 51
Boxing. Pictures. Circus Amar. Dauthuille. LaMotta. Halimi. Three pieces: I) Two original photos: a) The ring of the Amar circus in 1958, an exhibition during the program, perhaps with Halimi. Traces of humidity and small tear at l. Amazing picture with the garlands of light bulbs. 16X24; b) The reunion between Jake LaMotta (the Bronx bull, 1922-2017) and Laurent Dauthuille (the Tarzan of Buzenval, 1924-1971) thanks to Carlo Nell. For the record, Laurent who had beaten LaMotta in an ordinary fight in 1949, matched him for the world middleweight title in 1950. In 15 rounds, he was getting the better of Cerdan's faller, when at 13 seconds (thirteen seconds), he was picked!!! Was he poisoned? He committed suicide three years after this reunion (17x24). Very moving document; II) Superb print of the champion Alphonse Halimi (1932-2006), on guard in front of his poster, for the match against d'Agata (30x21), for the world title of the cocks (1. 4. 1957)
