Description

From the personal collection of legendary rock photographer Barry Feinstein—an iconic original semi-glossy 22 x 17 silver gelatin photograph of Bob Dylan at the Aust Ferry terminal near Bristol, showing the tousled-hair rock star standing in his sunglasses, the ferry ticket office to the right. Blindstamped in the lower left with the "Barry Feinstein Photography" stamp, and titled and numbered on the reverse in pencil, "Bob Dylan, 'Aust Ferry,' 1966, 7/40." In fine condition.

Feinstein's best-known portrait of Dylan, the photographer described the photo thus: '11 May, waiting at the Aust Ferry Terminal near Bristol to go to Cardiff in Wales. They chose this shot for the cover of Scorsese’s No Direction Home CD and DVD. It’s one that Bob likes as it told it all. It has depth, he looked cool. I guess he felt it represented the moment to him. Just waiting for the ferry and it turned out to be a good picture.'

From the personal collection of Barry Feinstein and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from his estate. Barry Feinstein passed away in 2011, and since then his estate has offered posthumous estate-stamped limited edition photographs from his archives; this example, printed during his lifetime and deriving from his personal collection, is superior to those gallery offerings.
