Two 8x10 b/w photographs of Kodak contact sheets, each one printing 36 frames depicting Miles and Hoppy preparing Long Hair for publication, c. late November/early December 1965.

Photographer and date of printing unknown.

Several of the contact sheets' images feature John Dunbar, who had been introduced to Miles by Paolo Lionni (a friend of Gregory Corso) a few months before, as well as Miles’s wife, Sue, and her cat, Nadja. One of them clearly shows Miles’s line drawing of Allen Ginsberg, used for the cover of Long Hair, with Nadja standing in front of it, while the majority show Miles and Hoppy contemplating the layout and pages assembled by them on a long trestle table in Hoppy’s Queensway flat.

Fine.
