Framing
Leonard Freed: Dr. Martin Luther King. We recommend book-mounting this print in a wide passe-partout and then framing it in a black wooden box. This classic method not only gives visual priority to the image but also fits seamlessly into most interiors. However, if you prefer a different look, other framing options are also available. Additionally, to ensure the highest levels of production, all of our frames are handcrafted to museum standards by one of the UK’s leading workshops. Please note that prices include tax, but exclude framing and shipping costs.
Shipping
We aim to ship unframed works within 2 weeks and framed works within 6 weeks. All orders are shipped from the UK and we always strive to deliver your print as quickly as possible. However, the delivery times may vary, depending on the specific artwork and your location. For exact details, please get in touch. Please note that prices include tax, but exclude framing and shipping costs.
Artwork In Detail
In 1964, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. became the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, honoured for his leadership in the civil rights movement and commitment to nonviolence. When King returned to the United States that October, Leonard Freed photographed him being welcomed in Baltimore. The images from this day remain some of Freed’s most powerful records of the civil rights struggle. Presented in collaboration with Magnum Photos.

EnquireLeonard Freed, born in Brooklyn to Jewish immigrant parents, first studied painting but turned to photography in 1953. After training with Alexei Brodovitch, he moved to Amsterdam, where he documented Jewish life and postwar Germany. Freed joined Magnum Photos in 1972 and used his camera to confront themes of race, violence, and social injustice. He soon expanded his lens to the U.S. civil rights movement, Black communities, and then to the New York police. However, he also photographed in Israel, documenting the Yom Kippur War. Edward Steichen recognised Freed’s talent early on, acquiring his work for MoMA, which then lead Cornell Capa to feature him in the landmark exhibition, ‘The Concerned Photographer’ (1967). Today, leading institutions worldwide collect and exhibit Freed’s photographs—from MoMA and the MET in New York, to the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.
