I'm looking for a famous B&W photo...

[konitzlee]

Hello all,

I'm new, so I beg your pardon if I've posted this in the wrong section.

I'm looking all over the internet for a very famous photo, from the 50's... it portraits a black girl dressed in a black dress, standing on the side of a street in NYC, looking to her left just over the camera, holding a trumpet down to her left side.

Does anybody know who could be the photographer, or the name of the picture or a place where I could find it/buy it?

Thanks.

I've found a link of the photo but it's not the original version it's edited. Here it is http://www.bloggers.it/siffiero/itco...A%20TROMBA.jpg

If somebody can help me out i'd appreciate the help!!!!

I've seen it credited as being a photo of Mrs. Donald Byrd.

...and yes, this is a photo of Mrs. Donald Byrd by William Claxton. You might try searching jazz forums and/or sites for more info on where to find prints.
