On the short list of the greatest singers of all time is Jazz icon Billie Holiday. Despite being black and a woman during a time when both were obstacles, nothing held her back and she is as relevant and important today as she was seventy years ago. Despite her fame, images of Holiday are extremely rare with this being the only vintage 1 example we have ever seen or offered publicly. Despite a small rip on the far left and some light creasing from handling in a newspaper archive, this is an important piece of music history that we are proud to offer here for the first time ever!
