N.p.: n.p., n.d.

21 x 230cm, black and white silver gelatine photograph from original negative showing Jack Smith, Barbara Rubin & Jonas Mekas at the Filmmakers' Cinematheque in 1967

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.
