Out of stockThis actual print was the personal property of the late great John Entwistle. In May 2003, Sothebys in London auctioned 386 lots belonging to John Entwistle. The majority of lots consisted of guitars, but lot number one in the auction comprised John’s favourite photographs of The Who, which originally hung on the walls of his home. This group portrait by Tom Wright of The Who was one of the photographs in that first lot. It has a removable Sotheby’s sticker on the glass in the front left corner, and a Sotheby’s ticket strung on the reverse. It is in its original wood frame—the one John Entwistle had when he owned it—which has a good few scratches on the front and could definitely do with a reframe. It is priced in its original frame but could be reframed for an additional £200. There is no visible signature. The image measures 18 x 23 inches, and the frame measures 24 x 28 inches. American photographer Tom Wright (1944 - 2022) met Pete Townshend as a student at Ealing College of Art, and left Pete in charge of his vast blues and R&B record collection when he returned to the USA. He never did get those records back, but he kept in contact with the band and was their road manager on tour in the USA in 1967 and 1968, photographing them extensively during this period.

The majority of lots consisted of guitars, but lot number one in the auction comprised John's favourite photographs of The Who, which originally hung on the walls of his home. This portrait by Tom Wright of Roger Daltrey and a ladyfriend was one of the photographs in that first lot. It has been signed and dated by Tom Wright and bears the embossed stamp of his archive. This is a silver gelatin print made by hand in the darkroom from the original negative in the darkroom on matt paper. The sheet size is 20 x 24 inches, and the image measures 16 x 20 inches. There are some small scuffs to the border, but these would not be visible when framed.
