A rare original 8” x 10” photograph of Joy Division’s Ian Curtis, by reknown English photographer Paul Slattery.  This live photograph is in excellent condition.  Paul Slattery is a British photographer known for his photographs of the Sex Pistols, Clash, Smiths, Motorhead, Manic Street Preachers and Oasis.

On the back are labels from the Retina Pictures photo agency, and Slattery’s handwritten copyright notice.

This rare, original photograph was obtained from the archives of a stock photo agency, which licensed photographs to magazines and newspapers on behalf of photographers.

It is an original hand-printed photograph, made from the original negative. While undated, it was probably printed near the time the photograph was taken. As a “vintage print”, it is much more collectible and valuable than a recent print.
