Description

An original artist's proof printing of the Lena Horne album The Lady and Her Music. Recorded live on broadway and produced by Quincy Jones.


 


In a world of digital downloads, the art of the album cover has been lost. But from the 1950s to the 1980s, album cover art was both a marketing tool and an expression of artistic intent.


 


The artist's proofs were typically destroyed once the album went to print. However, a few were salvaged and now considered to be collectors items. They are truly one-of-a-kind.
