THE DRIVE OF THE DECADE
Super Bowl XXIII, January 22, 1989
San Francisco 49ers 20 – Cincinnati Bengals 16

Commemorating one of the greatest fourth-quarter drivesin NFL history! It was looking desperate for Bill Walsh’s San Francisco49ers after the Bengals’ Jim Breech kicked a tie-breaking field goal with3:20 remaining in Super Bowl XXIII. But this 49ers quarterback was no ordinaryJoe! Starting at his own 8 yard line, Joe Montana proved once again whyhe was one of the greatest clutch players in the history of sport: twominutes and 48 seconds, 12 plays, 92 yards, and another taste of SuperBowl glory. This spectacular poster gives you a play-by-play breakdownof the “Drive of the Decade” as painted by Official Super Bowl artist MervCorning (1926-2006). In stunning watercolor realism, you’ll re-live thedrive-opening pass to Roger Craig; the first down pass to tight end JohnFrank; the two handoffs and three passes to Roger Craig; the brilliantreceptions by game MVP Jerry Rice; and the penultimate moment, Montana’s10-yard pass to John Taylor that made 49er nation erupt in joy!

This beautiful poster is both a beautiful work of posterart for your wall, and a valuable collector’s item for the future. Publishedin 1994 for a now-defunct company called Front Row Collectibles, the majorityof the stock was never delivered to the public, and was stranded in a BayArea warehouse for more than a decade before we obtained them in early2007. A masterful poster featuring the brilliant work of a masterful artist,commemorating one of the greatest moments in the career of a football magician- how could you go wrong! A must for the wall of any true Niners fan.
