Collector’s Edition Print
This iconic photograph, originally captured by Joe Harris for the September 1972 issue of Essence magazine, represents a powerful celebration of Black beauty, confidence, and cultural pride.
It remains a defining image of its era and was recently featured in the OWN network's acclaimed docuseries Time of Essence, highlighting the magazine’s enduring impact across generations.
This Collector’s Edition has been produced to the highest archival and museum-quality standards.
Printed on Hahnemühle FineArt Pearl — a premium 100% cotton paper known for its subtle shimmer and vibrant color reproduction — the image has been meticulously optimized for remarkable clarity and luminosity while preserving the spirit and depth of the original.
Mounted on Alu-Dibond 0.12" for exceptional stability and framed with a Basel 0.6" Black Oak float frame, this edition showcases a striking presentation.
A 2-inch white border around the 20 × 28.4" image enhances its gallery-finished appearance, bringing balance and air to the composition. External frame dimensions measure 25.7 × 34.1".
Each piece is individually numbered, estate-stamped, and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from the Estate of Joe Harris.
Only five editions of this work will be released.
