The Photographic Edition
This 16” x 20” photographic limited edition shows the line up of the Brazilian and Italian teams at the FIFA World Cup Final at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City on 21 June 1970.
The print is a first-generation original from the archive of an established UK photographic agency.
Football’s Greatest Ever Collectible
The edition is limited to only 45 copies and no further such prints exist, except as part of the sold out “Carnival Edition” of the official “Pelé” limited edition book published by Gloria in 2006.
The signatures were secured by Gloria in 2006. Each print is hologrammed and numbered out of 45 in ink on the reverse and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity from the CEO of Gloria.

"The 1970 tournament was watched by many viewers on colour television sets, a high proportion of them purchased specially for the occasion. Football has never seemed as splendid as when Pelé – now a mature man of 29 – was at the heart of a team including Tostão, Jairzinho, Gérson, Roberto Rivellino and Carlos Alberto, an ensemble of masters surrounded by their own golden aura as they took the game to a new level of creative interplay, with the No 10 as their conductor."
