Maurice Richard is pictured in his Canadiens uniform, 1950s Habs baseball uniform and in a suit in this lot of a dozen 1940s and '50s Rocket and Habs photos, most of which are original 8x10s. A framed photo of the Rocket mugging with a Marconi TV set may have hung in Richard's retail store, and Maurice's original dedicated ballpoint autograph sits above his facsimile signature on his image on a vintage S. Albert heating oil 6x7 card. Shots of the Punch Line, Plante and Habs team photos, in and out of uniform, are also featured. The signed Richard S. Albert card has French and English Rocket bios on the reverse. It has a horizontal fold crease through the middle and staple marks along the top and bottom edges, none of which affect the original autograph.
