One of the leaders in a long time of all-time great Montreal Canadiens players, Henri Richard holds the club record for most games played and is third all-time in points and assists. Hailing originally from his personal collection, offered here are 3 framed photos of the 11-time Stanley Cup champion with 2 featuring him in an NHL uniform and the other showing him as a kid at around 10 years old. The first image, measuring roughly 19 ¾” x 15 ¾” and framed to dimensions of 21 ¼” x 17 ¼”, shows Henri charging to the net and looking to tuck the puck behind Penguins goalie, Andy Brown. The photo shows well with a small tear to the top right corner and some dirt under the glass. The frame shows wear and separation at the corners with the image able to move around inside. The second picture, also of Henri in a Canadiens uniform but earlier in his career, shows the moment immediately after “Pocket Rocket” has launched the puck at Wings goalie, Roger Crozier. Measuring roughly 11” x 14” with framed dimensions of 14 ¼” x 11 1/4”, the photo displays is excellent condition despite two areas of orange spots near the top of the image. Lastly, is an image of Henri circa mid-to-late 1940s as a boy around 10 years of age with his hockey team in Laval. Pictured in the middle of the back row, the picture, measuring approx. 8 ¼” x 6” is double matted and framed to dimensions of 14” x 11 ½” with the frame in excellent condition. The photo also shows well despite numerous creases and folds throughout.
