Limited Edition Giclée Fine Art Archival Print. Number in Edition: 50.

It wasn't until November 1, 1959 that a National Hockey League goalie began wearing a mask regularly. That man, of course, was the Montreal Canadiens' Jacques Plante. But in previous seasons, other goalies had experimented with masks in practice. Here, Detroit Red Wings' Hall of Famer Terry Sawchuk tries out a clear plastic protector made by Delbert Louch of St. Mary's, Ontario. Photographed by Bob Benyas for SPORT magazine, this very rare print is made from the original 2 1/4" transparency.

Each Giclée fine art product is printed on 100% Hahnemuhle cotton rag art paper using UltraChrome K3 pigmented inks to ensure vibrancy, fade resistance and the highest available archival quality. The limited edition prints are then numbered, hand titled and engraved beneath the image with The SPORT Collection emboss to confirm authenticity. In addition, a signed Certificate of Authenticity accompanies each limited edition piece. Mounting, matting and framing is also to the highest archival standards.

NOTE: As a security feature, images that appear on the website contain a watermark ("The SPORT Gallery") that is placed across each image. This watermark is a web security feature only and does not appear on the finished product.

Image size is 13.5" wide x 9" high, and total print size including title and emboss is 15.5" wide x 11" high. Framed size is 23.5 x 18".
