Large 1966 unique composite photo of the Florida Gators football team from their appearance at the Sugar Bowl. A skilled newspaper artist has taken a huge photo of an overturned bowl of sugar and cut out the center placing in its place (taped behind the larger photo) is an image of the Florida Gators as they run on the field before their game. The finished product is a fantastic image in which it looks like the "Sugar Bowl Gators" are coming out of an actual bowl of sugar! The photographers are both listed on the back as John Walther and Bill Sanders and the newspaper article the photo was used to make is glued to the back. A unique piece of photo-art that we are proud to offer here for the first time ever. Of particular note, Steve Spurrier the Heisman winner and Hall of Fame coach was on this team!
