This black and white print represents a large central field of black ink that has hard edges on three sides (upper left, lower left, lower right). Beyond these edges the white paper can be seen in the upper left, lower left, and lower right corners of the image. The black ink extends into the upper right corner of the image, although there are white lines and marks in that area, as well. The three corners where the white paper is revealed are lined and dotted with black ink.
The Royal Dream, Lynda Frese, Iris print
Malcolm X holds a rifle and looks out a curtained window; a piece of glass with the top of a heart shape is placed on the silkscreened image around his head; smudging overall.
At the bottom, the tops of Grand Canyon rock formations reach towards the sky. Clouds in the top right almost touching the top left with a nearly clear sky on left side.
