Michael Joseph Beggars Banquet Rolling Stones Signed Photo London 1968 No 22/250
Thanks for looking
If you're reading this then you'll already know exactly what you're looking at
Rare opportunity to own a genuine piece of history. This is one of THE pivotal images of 20th Century cultural evolution. It's Michael Joseph at his absolute pinnacle featuring arguably the greatest band of all time (pipe down Beatles fans - they were good too albeit a lot less edgy - pioneers but certainly not rebels like The Stones)
This is the iconic cover photo by Michael Joseph for the Beggars Banquet, Rolling Stones album. It is a signed and dated print of the original photograph from 1968 and is number 22 of 250
Without wanting to sound monstrous The Rolling Stones can't keep Rolling forever (although I suspect Keith Richards will outlive us all). This is only ever going to go up in value
We aquired the picture from a serious collector. He's downsizing and this is a big piece of art - he doesn't have the space for it to be properly appreciated. It needs to go to a new guardian where it will be truly cherished. Please check the framers details to confirm authenticity - this is a genuine item
An original, hand signed image like this almost never appears on the open market which has made it difficult to price. You can buy a cheap, Chinese pre-printed copy for a few pounds, just like you can buy a replica of a Michelangelo. Not and never will be the same as the original which is priceless.
I've done some research and the last one that came on the market sold for £5,300. There is one available for just £7.500 through the Zebraone Gallery at the moment but these are the only examples that have appeared on the market in years - please check pic for price verification. There were only 250 ever produced and most are owned by rock stars. You won't find another one of these in the next 25 years.

Condition
The artwork was framed immediately after print so remains in mint condition. We had a knock when moving it from the seller's property to our warehouse so as you can see the frame has a small patch of damage on the upper right hand side. I suspect this won't make a difference as you'll probably want it reframed in your own style to match your decor.
