Collector's Special
Limited Edition!
The
ALI Folio™
contains 14 stunning “gotta have” photographic prints by documentary and fine-art photographer Sonia Katchian,
that every Muhammad Ali fan and art connoisseur will want to own.
Only 50 sets of The ALI Folio™ will be
printed! These luscious giclée prints have tonalities previously
unattainable in the traditional silver gelatin process. It is
a joy to be able to produce this edition the way the images were
meant to be seen. Fourteen
photographs plus Prologue are printed on heavy watercolor paper
using the latest scanning and pigment-ink technologies. The oversized
prints are on 24” X 30,” 425gsm,
paper by Crane’s® using Ultrachrome
K3 inks for the ultimate in archival longevity.

We
can proudly say that with proper handling and storage, these
prints are guaranteed to be stable for a minimum of 100-200
years. The prints of Muhammad Ali can be kept safely in their
box to be viewed on special occasions, or they can be framed
and used as a kind of ‘rotating gallery’ of Ali
photos for you and your friends to enjoy for years to come.
The
box is a work of art in itself. It has been carefully handcrafted
for us by a California artisan, using all-natural materials,
including buffered wheat-paste glue and other fine bookbinding
materials, all to ensure pH neutrality for several lifetimes.
The box is covered in an elegant Belgian linen, and the inset
on the cover shows a photo of the young Ali in Zaire, the
title and a facsimile of Ali’s signature-- all printed
on linen.
