Burnin' II
Work Summary & Collector Notes
Burnin' II is a 2019 archival pigment print at 8 x 11 inches in an edition of 420 on 55gsm Moab Moenkopi Unryu Natural paper. The second of three photographs Morris made on Bob Marley and the Wailers' 1974 Catch A Fire tour, it continues the sequence on the same textured Japanese-style stock.
Collector notes: The saved release record describes: Edition Size: 420. Edition-specific signature, numbering, and stamp details were not stated in the saved release record. Verify signing and numbering against a documented example of this edition.
Why It Matters
As the middle image in the trio, Burnin' II extends Morris's firsthand visual record of a foundational moment in reggae's global rise. These are authentic 1974 tour photographs, not restagings. The lightweight unryu paper lends each impression a soft, documentary intimacy that distinguishes the series from glossier photographic editions.
Collector Perspective
With 420 impressions and modest dimensions, Burnin' II is approachable and frequently acquired alongside its companions to complete the set. Sequential or matching edition numbers across all three add appeal. The fragile unryu stock rewards careful framing; inspect for handling marks given the paper's delicate surface.
Historical Context
The Catch A Fire tour marked the Wailers' breakthrough beyond Jamaica. Morris, embedded with the band, captured images that became part of Marley's visual legacy. Printed decades later as a giclée on textured Moab Moenkopi Unryu, the photograph bridges 1970s documentary and contemporary fine-art printmaking.
