BOB SEIDEMANN'S "BLIND FAITH" PHOTOGRAPH, ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE 20TH CENTURY; it was used for the U.K. "Blind Faith" album cover and its title became the name of the band.

TITLED, SIGNED, NUMBERED and DATED by the PHOTOGRAPHER, BOB SEIDEMANN, this being copy #10 of 75, dated 1969 but printed later.

A chromogenic reprint photograph, mounted and framed. Professionally "clip" mounted so that the photograph can safely be removed from the frame if so desired. Image measures 11.25x11 inches on a 14x12 inch photographic sheet.

Signed limited reprint photographs of "Blind Faith" are in major museums in Europe and America, and have shown up at auction from time to time. From what I can find, one sold at Sotheby's in 2014, a Rock 'n Roll History auction, for $17,000; one sold at Heritage Auctions in 2022 for $4,000, and one did not meet its reserve price at Bonhams.

The photograph is in FINE condition, bright, brilliant colors, great. The metal frame has some light scratches.

This controversial but iconic photograph represents an era when Rock 'n Roll was king, and was photographed by the king of rock n' roll photography, Bob Seidemann.

About Bob Seidemann and his photograph Blind Faith (from Sotheby's auction and Wikipedia):

******Robert "Bob" Emett Seidemann, b.1941 d.2017, was an American photographer. He was known for his portraits of musicians and bands from San Francisco's counterculture in the 1960s and 1970s. Many of his images were published by Rolling Stone, by record labels, and in books.

Bob Seidemann's surreal and enigmatic 'Blind Faith' became the album cover of Eric Clapton's first post Cream project. The band consisted of Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Ginger Baker, and Ric Grech, and took both its name and the title of its only album from Seidemann's photograph. The image, of a young girl holding a futuristic metal plane, created controversy even before its release when Polydor balked at using it as cover art. Clapton insisted, however, and the 1969 UK release of Blind Faith featured Seidemann's photograph. The photograph went on to become his most famous and controversial work. The rarity of the original cover has made the album highly collectible, and its notoriety has raised Seidemann's photograph to icon status.******
