Notes: From Swann Galleries; to the present owner.
Harold Edgerton and Gordon covered this historic fight collaboratively, with Gordon handling the camera and Edgerton, an M. I. T. professor who invented the strobe flash (and a photographer himself), supervising the operation of a high-speed strobe from his command post situated directly under the ring. -
