Description

From the personal collection of legendary rock photographer Barry Feinstein—a classic original semi-glossy 20 x 16 silver gelatin photograph of Bob Dylan visiting Governor Jimmy Carter in 1974. Signed and titled on the reverse in pencil, "Barry Feinstein, Bob Dylan & Governor Jimmy Carter (Governor's Mansion), Atlanta, Georgia, 1974," beneath Feinstein's copyright stamp. In fine condition.

While on tour in 1974, Dylan and The Band visited Carter at the Governor's Mansion in Atlanta on January 21, 1974. They spent several hours at the house, and Rosalyn Carter made breakfast for them all before they left. Said Dylan of Carter in 2020: 'He’s a kindred spirit to me of a rare kind. The kind of man you don’t meet every day, and you’re lucky to meet if you ever do.' For his part, Carter called Dylan 'one of my best friends.'

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.
