The Burning Monk - Malcom Browne, 1963, Framed Poster

On June 11, 1963, in a street in Saigon, Vietnam, the monk Thich Quang Duc immolated himself as an act of protest over discrimination toward Buddhists by the South Vietnamese government. During a demonstration, he asked to be doused with gasoline and demanded that he be set on fire. Associated Press photographer Malcolm Browne was on the scene at the time and captured a stunning image, known as The Burning Monk, a world-famous photo that also won a Pulitzer Prize. Make a statement in any room with this framed poster of The Burning Monk, printed on thick matte paper.
