This image appears as the frontispiece to
Volume one of Robert A. Hill’s definitive work, the Marcus Garvey and Universal Negro
Improvement Papers (University of California Press, 1983). We have tentatively dated the
portrait at circa 1917. Garvey is depicted in this image as a young man; later images show him
as a heavier person with a considerably broader face.
