November 1946. The Aquarium, New York.
Django Reinhardt mid-set, photographed by William P. Gottlieb during his tour with Duke Ellington.
The photo that landed on the cover of Down Beat — now a poster for your wall.

Two fingers lost to a fire.
A whole new sound built from the rest.
This 1946 photo of Django Reinhardt at The Aquarium, NYC, isn't just a poster — it's the moment jazz history pivoted.
