Original b/w press photograph of Brazilian soccer player Pelé (Edson Arantes do Nascimento); 1940–2022) together with the Brazilian national soccer team upon arrival at Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands on April 29, 1963. Back with restriction stamp, handwritten note, editorial instruction and stamped newspaper publication date (April 30, 1963). Red painted wooden frame with double glazing. Visible size 16×21 cm. Frame size 27×32 cm.
Pelé achieved worldwide fame thanks to his unique talents on the soccer field—he won three FIFA World Cups with Brazil (1958, 1962, 1970), more than anybody else—but also because of his human qualities, which have made him legendary even outside of 'Joga Bonito' ('the beautiful game').
This is an original b/w silver gelatin press photograph from 1963, which appears with surface scratches. Upper right corner creased. Furthermore, normal signs of handling.
