Two vintage borderless oversize photographs of bebop and hard bop jazz saxophonist Sonny Stitt, taken in New York in 1953 and struck by legendary jazz photographer Herman Leonard circa mid-1990s. One photograph titled and signed by Leonard along the bottom edge. The other photograph, used by Leonard in publications, bears two photographer labels on the verso.
