This limited edition archival inket print is a unique reworking, undertaken by George Hardie, of his original album artwork for Led Zeppelin's eponymous album number I. Hardie first approached Led Zeppelin’s guitarist, Jimmy Page, with an idea for a design involving the airship icon. Jimmy then asked him to refer directly to a photograph that he had found showing the Hindenburg disaster and the design for Led Zeppelin I was born. What a design it is. So graphically striking yet subtly evocative; instantly recognisable from across the aisles of a record store, or the walls of a gallery. A truly enduring image. The print is taken from the original artwork that resulted from the original design project. The result is a print with added colour treatment applied by George in consultation with Brad Faine at Coriander Studios. The approach was made specially for this print edition and is quite different from the album cover image. It is a truly unique reworking of the original artwork by the artist. The edition was printed in archival pigment inks on a Somerset Satin paper by the esteemed Coriander Studios, London, UK. - See more at: https://www.hypergallery.com/led-zeppelin-i#sthash.GNlznUXW.dpuf

The Physical Graffiti limited edition archival inkjet print was produced in an edition of 500 under the supervision of Aubrey Powell. Once he and Storm Thorgerson began pulling together original artwork for Hipgnosis designed album covers for Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin, the project widened to include significant designs for Led Zeppelin by other artists, including this by Peter Corriston. Led Zeppelin's biggest album, Physical Graffiti, was originally designed to be the debut release on the Swan Song label but the elaborate cover art, featuring a New York City tenement with interchangeable images visible through the building's die-cut windows, forced a delay. Artist Peter Corriston worked with designer Mike Doud to convince Led Zeppelin manager, Peter Grant, that the cover art idea was a good one. The sleeve design was heavily influenced by Jose Feliciano's album, Compartments. An eclectic gallery of celebrities and icons inhabit the building and they can be spied through the windows. Amongst the tenants therein are Lee Harvey Oswald, Neil Armstrong, Elizabeth Taylor, Charles Atlas, Queen Elizabeth, Dante Gabriel Rossetti's portrait of Proserpine, the Virgin Mary and Laurel and Hardy. The edition was printed in archival pigment inks and each print is signed and numbered by Peter Corriston at his studio outside of New York.
