For Led Zeppelin fans it is an instantly recognisable image: that of a grey-bearded figure stooping, his leathery hands grasping the pole supporting a bundle of hazel on his back. But the origin of the image, which forms the centrepiece of the eye-catching front cover of Led Zeppelin IV, has remained a mystery for more than half a century. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/nov/08/led-zeppelin-iv-cover-photo-revealed-victorian-wiltshire-thatcher
So, one of the most famous album covers in rock history is a picture of a Victorian roof thatcher 😂
@estherschindler literally just listening to that album. I got the 70s gatefold re-release on eBay for a steal, it arrived today.
