30 x 21cm, black and white silver gelatine photograph - Allen Ginsberg jokingly "howling" for a portrait taken at the artist's club in 1958

This image was originally taken by Fred McDarrah and his estate retains copyright on the image so this is sold for personal use and not for reproduction. This is in very good condition and a crisp modern print (post 1990s we suspect) from original negative. If this was a vintage print we would charge much more.
