A black-and-white portrait photograph of Aretha Franklin, bearing a bold signature in dark ink to the upper left of the image. The photograph shows the young singer in an embellished dress, looking slightly upwards. Presented within a pale mount and black glazed frame, with an identification plaque beneath. Measures 27 × 36 cm overall, including the frame. The visible photograph appears in very good condition, with the signature standing clearly against the pale background. An attractive portrait of the ‘Queen of Soul’, whose extraordinary voice and recordings of ‘Respect’, ‘Chain of Fools’ and ‘(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman’ secured her enduring place in popular music. Comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
