Incredible c. 1970 studio photograph for the great blues singer Janis Joplin near the end of her life. As her career only spanned 4 years of popularity (and even then she enjoyed mostly counter-culture success) there are very few original images of her that have survived. The offered is one of the best we have ever seen. Condition is quite nice for the age with some mild handling wear associated with being nearly 50 years old. Photo was issued by her personal management company while she was still alive and as such is a rare vintage piece of photography.
