Le Gros Bill, the one and only Jean Beliveau is featured in this collection of three 8" x 10" photos. Beliveau's vintage blue ink fountain pen signature appears in the lower lefthand corner of an on-ice portrait of him sporting the alternate captain's "A" in a shield on the upper left breast of his Quebec Citadelles jersey. This original 8" x 10" photo comes along with another shot featuring Beliveau in the back row of a dressing room shot of him and his Citadelles teammates lined up for a remarkable victory celebration photo. Beliveau's has added his legendary number 4 to his modern blue sharpie signature on a team photo of the 1955-56 Stanley Cup champion Montreal Canadiens. While the quality of this picture leaves plenty to be desired, the print is covered with 12 signatures from members of the team. Including Beliveau, a total of no less than nine members of the Hockey Hall of Fame have signed: Maurice and Henri Richard, Butch Bouchard, Dickie Moore, Bernie "Boom Boom" Geoffrion, Bert Olmstead, Tom Johnson and team executive Kenny Reardon. In addition to Floyd Curry's autograph, the photo is also signed by Don Marshall and Jean-Guy Talbot, both of whom took part in each of the Habs' record five straight Cup wins in the late-1950s.
