Evelyn ★★★★★

The grain on this black-and-white shot is gorgeous, and you can almost hear her mid-phrase from the way she's leaning into the mic. Hung it next to my record shelf and it ties the whole corner together.

Julian ★★★★★

The lighting in this shot captures her mid-song with such warmth that you can almost hear the room. It's a beautiful piece of history, and the print quality does the 1949 atmosphere real justice.

Leo J. ★★★★☆

The print quality is solid for the price, though the paper feels a bit thinner than I'd like for framing. You can still make out fine details like the mic stand and the crowd's faces in the background, which is impressive for a 1949 shot. Happy with it overall.
