EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an iconic piece of history - an Underwood typewriter and its attachable traveling case, dating back to the 1950s. Owned by Chris Dundee, the original owner of the World Famous 5th St. Gym in Miami Beach, Florida, this typewriter holds a significant place in boxing folklore. It was within these gym walls that legendary fighters like Muhammad Ali made their names. The Underwood typewriter itself is a sleek black beauty with its ribbon still intact and all keys present, representing a bygone era of manual craftsmanship. Accompanying it is a gray traveling case that securely holds the typewriter during transportation. This photograph not only captures an object but also tells a story about African American heritage and cultural significance. The gymnasium's historical importance as a hub for African American athletes cannot be overstated. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a time when Cassius Clay (later known as Muhammad Ali) honed his skills under Dundee's guidance. Preserved at the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this artifact symbolizes resilience, determination, and triumph against adversity. It serves as a reminder of America's rich sporting legacy and pays homage to those who have left an indelible mark on our nation's history. Through this print from Heritage Images, viewers can appreciate both the aesthetic beauty of vintage technology and its profound connection to human stories that transcend time.
