Product Description
Photo Mississippi Fred McDowell Blues Singer Guitar: Home & Kitchen. We do not stock low quality snapshots, cheap digital scans or multigenerational prints.Most of our images are available for use, as most of them are in public domain. Black & White photo of McDowell was born in Rossville, Tennessee, near Memphis. His parents, who were farmers, died when McDowell was a youth. He started playing guitar at the age of 14 and played at dances around Rossville. Wanting a change from plowing fields, he moved to Memphis in 1926 where he worked in a number of jobs and played music for tips. He settled in Como, Mississippi, about 40 miles south of Memphis, in 1940 or 1941, and worked steadily as a farmer, continuing to perform music at dances and picnics. Initially he played slide guitar using a pocket knife and then a slide made from a beef rib bone, later switching to a glass slide for its clearer sound. He played with the slide on his ring finger.[4] The Perfect Picture, Inc s photographs are printed using Shinko printers and lab technology. This type of developing is quickly becoming the standard with professional photo lab technicians. We produce an exhibition quality print that has truly neutral tones and great depth in clarity that is far better than traditional black and white lab prints.We are dealing with historical photographs from a wide range of regions, creators and time periods. There is variation in the quality. We always ask ourselves if we would be pleased with a particular image before we add it to our inventory. We can license some of our images for commercial use.
