Description

Fantastic original semi-glossy 14 x 11 silver gelatin photograph of Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash backstage at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, taken by photographer Daniel Kramer on February 10, 1965, and printed circa 1990 from the original negative. Signed on the reverse in pencil by the photographer, "D. Kramer," with his copyright stamp above. In very fine condition.

In his autobiography, Johnny Cash wrote of his the mutual admiration between himself and Bob Dylan: 'I had a portable record player that I’d take along on the road, and I’d put on Freewheelin’ backstage, then go out and do my show, then listen again as soon as I came off. After a while at that, I wrote Bob a letter telling him how much of a fan I was. He wrote back almost immediately, saying he’d been following my music since I Walk the Line, and so we began a correspondence.' Their correspondence and friendship during this period was recently immortalized on screen in the Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown.





From the personal collection and archive of Daniel Kramer.
