Sally Mann Print | Jessie at 9 (1991) Child Portrait Fine Art Photography Wall Art
This Sally Mann print captures her daughter Jessie at age 9 in 1991 — part of the Immediate Family series that made Mann one of the most discussed names in American fine art photography.
A child portrait print with real weight: the black and white portrait is intimate, unsettling in the best way, and technically precise — Immediate Family print work that belongs on a wall, not just in a museum.
Available on 200 GSM museum-grade matte paper, seven sizes 9×11″ to 24×36″ — frame-ready. Digital download $3.90 (300 DPI, PDF/JPG).
This Sally Mann print comes from the Immediate Family series — Mann’s landmark body of work documenting her three children on their Virginia farm through the late 1980s and early 1990s. Jessie at 9 is one of the quieter images in that series: a child portrait print made with the large-format camera Mann used throughout, the tonal depth and shadow complexity giving this black and white portrait a quality no 35mm image could replicate. This Sally Mann print is fine art photography made from the inside of a life, not the outside.
The Immediate Family print series was exhibited widely and collected by major institutions. As fine art photography it occupies a unique position — documentary and constructed simultaneously, domestic and formally rigorous in equal measure.

Premium Quality, Every Print
200 GSM Matte Paper
Printed on genuine heavyweight fine art matte stock — noticeably thicker and stiffer than standard poster paper. Resists curling straight out of the tube and feels substantial on the wall.
Archival Pigment Inks
Every print uses fade-resistant pigment inks rated for 75+ years of indoor display without colour shift — the same technology used in professional photography studios and gallery prints.
Rolled in Rigid Tubes
Every order ships hand-rolled in tissue paper inside a reinforced protective tube with end-cap cushioning — the industry standard that guarantees your print arrives perfectly flat, crease-free, and mint condition.
Find Your Perfect Print Size
All sizes are cut to standard frame dimensions — IKEA, Target, and Amazon frames fit straight off the shelf. Every print ships rolled in a reinforced tube, flat and crease-free. Choose confidently: the right size changes how a room feels.

How to Frame & Display Your Print
Four simple steps to take your print from tube to wall — no tools, no specialist knowledge, no custom framing required.
-
Unroll & Let It Relax
Remove from the tube and lay face-down on a clean, flat surface for 20–30 minutes before framing. The 200 GSM matte stock relaxes quickly — any natural roll from shipping will release without heat or moisture. Never force-flatten: the paper does the work on its own.
-
Pick a Standard Frame — No Custom Sizing
Every print size we offer matches a standard off-the-shelf frame sold at IKEA, Target, Walmart, and Amazon — no custom framing, no mat trimming. An 18×24" drops directly into the IKEA HOVSTA or Target Threshold frame. A 24×36" fits the Amazon Basics poster frame. Check our size guide above to confirm your frame match before you order.
-
Glass Optional — Matte Finish Is Naturally Glare-Free
Our matte surface eliminates glare entirely, so hanging without glass often shows more detail — particularly the deep blacks and shadow gradients that define dramatic prints. If you prefer glass, choose a UV-protective acrylic sheet over standard glass: it's lighter, shatter-resistant, and blocks the wavelengths that cause colour fade.
-
Position Away from Direct UV Light
Archival pigment inks are rated for 75+ years of indoor display under normal ambient lighting. Direct, sustained UV sunlight — particularly from south- or west-facing windows — will shorten the life of any print, regardless of ink technology. Hang on a wall that receives indirect or diffused natural light for best long-term results.
