In overall fine condition.
Elliott Landy (born 1942) is an American photographer renowned for his iconic images of 1960s rock musicians, including several portraits incorporated into famous album artwork: Bob Dylan (Nashville Skyline), The Band (Music from Big Pink), Janis Joplin (Cheap Thrills), and Van Morrison (Moondance). As the official photographer of the 1969 Woodstock Festival, his work captured the essence of the era's counterculture movement.
