Caption affixed to the verso of the print:
October 7, 1971: New York City. Madison Avenue & E 90th Street
I took this picture from a taxi's rear window on Madison Avenue. The taxi driver blew his horn to get Jackie's attention. She turned, not recognizing me because I had my camera covering my face and she gave me the "Mona Lisa" smile. 
Da Vinci had his "Mona Lisa" and I have "Windblown Jackie", my favorite, most famous and most published picture being sold in art galleries worldwide.
