From the personal collection of legendary rock photographer Barry Feinstein—a great original semi-glossy 11 x 17 print of Bob Dylan posing with a group of children on the streets of Liverpool on May 14, 1966, numbered and signed in the lower border in black felt tip, "3/25, Barry Feinstein." Reverse bears Feinstein's copyright stamp. In fine condition.
Feinstein recalled taking this shot on the day of the Football Association Cup Final, May 14, 1966, which saw Dylan engage with a bunch of waifish Liverpudlian youth: 'Bob felt great in Liverpool. The scenery, the houses, the open spaces were wonderful. He got all athletic throwing all these rocks around. I said, ‘It’s Bowling For Dollars!’ He loved these kids. He was compassionate to them. They were like waifs. It was the day of the FA Cup Final, 14 May (Everton v Sheffield Wednesday). I asked if he wanted a photo with them and he said sure, so we found a doorway of this old warehouse. The kids were just playing in the street; they just got in there wherever they could stand. They posed themselves and it became a famous picture.'
From the personal collection of Barry Feinstein and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from his estate. Barry Feinstein passed away in 2011, and since then his estate has offered posthumous estate-stamped limited edition photographs from his archives; this example, printed and signed during his lifetime, and deriving from his personal collection, is superior to those gallery offerings.
