[PHOTOGRAPHY]. [SCHULKE, Graeme Phelps ?Flip" (1930-2008), photographer]. Large Photograph of Civil Rights Marchers in Washington, D. C. [Ca. 1963]. Black and white image of hundreds of people, African-American and Caucasian, marching toward the camera, carrying a banner (?[illegible]? March on Washington") and a sign (?Pittsburgh student co-ordinating committee"). Approximately 14 1/8 x 18 7/8". With ?2 1372" stamped in ink on verso, and ?5222/13 8" in pencil on verso. A few tiny minor interior creases. Fine. Schulke was one of the most prominent civil rights photographers, beginning his association with the civil rights movement as early as 1956. He became friends with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who invited him to photograph planning meetings of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Schulke photographed the March on Washington in 1963, and the Selma to Montgomery March in 1965. Schulke photographed and accompanied Dr. King until King's assassination in 1968; King's death upset Schulke so much that he soon switched his photography to commercial projects. Schulke's photographs have been displayed in numerous museums and galleries, including the Harvard Art Museums, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the National Museum of American History and more. The University of Texas at Austin holds nearly 300,000 of his photographs. Measurements: 20"L x 15"W x 1"H.
