Title: “Jack holding Maneesha” Year: 1993 Size : length: 16” Height 20” Width 0.5” Vintage Photo Plaque in mint condition, please check all pics before purchasing. A bit of history behind this photo : This image was created in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in Auckland, New Zealand and was the very first image Anne created featuring a premature baby. Maneesha had been born early at 27 weeks and was just about to leave hospital after her long stay. In the image she weighs just 2.2lb. The very large hands belonged to a lovely elderly gentleman called Jack, who was a groundsman at a local school. Anne had been searching for some very large hands that had character and Jack’s fit the bill perfectly.She shot this in a small anteroom adjoining the NICU Unit and at the shoot Maneesha’s mom told her that it was the first time she’d seen her tiny girl free of all medical equipment. Anne had no idea at the time that this image would resonate around the world.
