Photograph of Art Powell in uniform number 84 in an action pose. Moving from right to left with right foot clear of the ground, the knee raised to just below his waist, Powell simulates catching the ball which is in his left hand. His head is in a three quarter profile seen from the left. The camera is situated slightly below the eye line and takes in a strip of grass in the bottom section of the photograph with a goal post, and a line of buildings on the horizon. Newspaper caption affixed to back of photograph: "Jan 31 1963 New Raider--Art Powell, one of the finest offensive ends in pro football, has been assigned to an Oakland Raider contract after playing out his option with the New York Titans, for whom he performed three American League seasons. Additional notes include "Powell 3-col 1st Thurs Sport" on verso. Powell in the newspaper caption has been circled by a pen. The bottom front of the photograph in the margin has " Art Powell New York Titans" in block type. The photograph has been retouched in places: top of the shoulders, the ball, the outside raised right leg and insidse calf, and the calf, inside and outside of the left leg, leading to better separation of the figure from the background.
