Limited edition 21.5 x 16.75 lithograph of a photograph by John Rowlands entitled ‘The Archer,’ which depicts David Bowie in half-length profile pretending to hold a bow, his right hand pulling back on an invisible string and his left hand holding a microphone, numbered 59/100, signed in the lower border in pencil, “Bowie, ‘13,” and by the photographer. Rolled and in fine condition.
'This iconic image of David Bowie as The Thin White Duke was taken by renowned rock photographer, John Rowlands, on February 26th, 1976, at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, Canada. Having seen the previous evening’s show on the Isolar–1976 Tour, Rowlands was primed to capture the image of Bowie as 'The Archer' while the singer was preparing to fire his imaginary bow and arrow. The pose was used as a signal for Bowie's lighting engineer to kill the lights. The picture was taken moments before the lights were killed. Rowlands took the shot about 30 feet away from the stage and he credits his Hasselblad camera for producing an image that is striking in its sharp tonal range of whites, blacks and grays.'
