Description

Spectacular uninscribed 1969 portrait of The Doors frontman Jim Morrison

Extremely rare vintage glossy 4 x 8 photo of the influential Doors frontman staring directly into the camera, prominently signed in blue felt tip, "J. Morrison." Archivally corner-mounted, matted, and framed under Tru Vue Museum Glass to an overall size of 16.5 x 18. In fine condition, with a subtle bend at the center. Accompanied by full letters of authenticity from REAL and JSA.

This iconic portrait was captured circa 1969 at Venice Pier by noted rock photographer Henry Diltz. The Doors came to be one of the most popular and successful American rock bands of all time, and Morrison one of rock's most legendary frontmen. Morrison remains highly elusive across all signed formats, with this striking example representing one of few autographed photos we have ever offered. Elevated by its lack of an inscription, this is an immensely desirable and seldom-encountered signed image of the counterculture icon—a truly superlative piece.
