Silver print, the image measuring 24x16¾ cm, 9½x6⅝ inches, the sheet 35½x28 cm, 14x11 inches; with Barboza's signature, title, and date in ink, and his credit stamp, on verso.

Barboza's editorial fashion shot for Essence in August 1971 marks a radical shift in the field as it was the first time a photographer would organize a fashion shoot in the streets of Harlem that he coined "Rappin." "This was about our culture - how we pick up women we've never met by waiting outside clubs. It's the first fashion shoot ever done in Harlem for a magazine. It's history, in a sense." - Anthony Barboza.
