Desmond Howard Autographed “The Catch” Lithograph by Douglas C. Hess – Limited Edition 198/2000 Beautiful limited-edition lithographic artwork titled The Catch, created by noted sports artist Douglas C. Hess. The dramatic composition captures University of Michigan legend Desmond Howard making a spectacular diving reception against Notre Dame, one of the most memorable moments of his celebrated Wolverines career.
