Outstanding color semi-glossy 8.5 x 11 archival print of the Rolling Stones—Mick Jagger, Brian Jones, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, and Bill Wyman—posing together on Primrose Hill in London, taken in 1966 by Gered Mankowitz during a photo session for the band's 1967 LP Between the Buttons. Stamped on the reverse with Mankowitz's copyright and a red "Single use only" stamp. In very good to fine condition, with a light surface crease near Jones's shoulder, and light creasing to corners.
Gered Mankowitz (born 1946) is a British photographer best known for his iconic portraits of rock musicians, including The Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix, taken during the 1960s and 70s. When asked if he thought that his work influenced the image of the Rolling Stones, Mankowitz stated: 'I think I contributed a lot when I did the cover of the album Between the Buttons. My contribution in the earlier sessions was based more on an honesty, a desire to communicate something about the Stones as people and not try and mask their personalities with any sort of technical or theatrical embellishments. I think that that’s why [their manager] Andrew [Loog Oldham] liked the pictures and why the band were happy to work with me for such a long period of time, because I photographed them as they were. And then when it came to Between the Buttons, I felt confident enough as a photographer and in my relationship with them to actually make a contribution.'
