Description

Limited edition semi-glossy 15.75 x 19.75 silver gelatin photograph of Bob Dylan taken by Barry Feinstein in late 1963 in New York City, as used on the cover of the iconic 1964 album The Times They Are a-Changin'. Titled and numbered on the reverse in pencil: "Bob Dylan, Times They Are A' Changin', 1964, 9/50." Embossed at the bottom with a "Barry Feinstein Photography" blindstamp. In fine condition.

Barry Feinstein’s photograph for the cover of The Times They Are A-Changin’ captures Bob Dylan at a pivotal moment, both in his career and in the shifting landscape of 1960s America. Taken in stark black and white, the image presents Dylan with a solemn, almost defiant expression, his face slightly shadowed, emphasizing the raw seriousness of the album's themes. Feinstein’s minimalist composition—no background distractions, just 22-year-old Dylan and the weight he carries—mirrors the stripped-down folk sound and the prophetic urgency of the songs. The photo has since become iconic, embodying not just a young artist on the cusp of greatness, but also the mood of an era restless for change.

Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from the estate of Barry Feinstein.
