Massive vintage circa 1969 matte-finish 19.5 x 23.5 photo of Led Zeppelin, lovingly signed and inscribed by three in red felt tip to the band's management attorney Steve Weiss, "Thanks for making it all possible Steve, John Bonham," "To Steve, Thanks for everything, Jimmy Page," and "To you, the biggest thank you in all the U.S.A., Robert Plant.” Nicely matted and framed to an overall size of 26 x 29.5. In fine condition, with fading to Page's signature, and poor contrast to Plant's signature.
Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Marie Weiss, in part: "This was a special gift to the band's management attorney, Stevens 'Steve' Weiss, who helped manager Peter Grant obtain a fabulous deal with Atlantic Records." Led Zeppelin signed with Atlantic Records in 1968, securing one of the most lucrative recording contracts for a new band at the time. The deal granted the band unprecedented creative freedom, allowing them control over the production of their albums. Led Zeppelin’s eponymous debut was released on Atlantic Records in mid-January of 1969, roughly four months after the band played their first official concert together. By all accounts, the speed in which the group achieved success remains an unprecedented feat, with Page, then the only high-profile member of the group, footing the bill for the debut’s entire recording and mixing costs, a process that took a mere nine days. A remarkable, oversized portrait of the band with an outstanding association.
