DIEGO MARADONA – ORIGINAL 1986 WORLD CUP PERIOD PHOTOGRAPH
ARGENTINA NATIONAL TEAM – MEXICO 1986
ORIGINAL KODAK PRINT – PROCESSED JULY 1986
Exceptional original period photograph of Diego Armando Maradona from the historic Mexico 1986 World Cup period, preserved for nearly 40 years.
The photograph captures a rare and candid moment showing Maradona seated and smiling in the stadium stands among members of the Argentina National Team delegation.
Unlike the widely reproduced match-action photographs from Mexico 1986, this is an unusual behind-the-scenes image showing Maradona in a relaxed setting within the Argentina delegation environment.
ORIGINAL JULY 1986 KODAK PRINT
The most important physical characteristic of this photograph is found on the reverse.
The original photographic paper bears repeated period processing marks clearly reading:
“JUL 1986 – PROCESADO POR KODAK – BUENOS AIRES”
These original Kodak markings document that this physical photographic print was processed in Buenos Aires in July 1986, immediately following Argentina’s World Cup victory in Mexico.
This is an original period photographic print and NOT a modern reproduction or later digital print.
