Description

Spectacular uninscribed 1969 portrait of The Doors frontman

Extremely rare vintage glossy 4 x 8 photo of the influential Doors frontman staring directly into the camera, prominently signed in blue felt tip, "J. Morrison." In fine condition, with scattered light creasing and a light bend passing through the lower part of Morrison's neck and shirt collar. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from REAL. This iconic portrait was captured circa 1969 at Venice Pier by noted rock photographer Henry Diltz. The Doors came to be one of the most popular and successful American rock bands of all time, and Morrison one of rock's most legendary frontmen. Morrison remains highly elusive across all signed formats, with this striking example representing one of few signed photos we have ever offered. Elevated furthermore by its lack of an inscription, this is an immensely desirable and seldom-encountered signed image of the counterculture icon—a truly superlative piece.
