Cetak langka foto Led Zeppelin IV terjual £16.000

Cetak langka abad ke-19 dari foto petani jerami yang digunakan pada album keempat Led Zeppelin terjual £16.000 di lelang Sussex pada 25 Februari 2026. Barang tersebut, versi asli terbesar yang diketahui, melebihi perkiraannya setelah perang tawaran antara pembeli Inggris dan AS. Penemuan ini menyoroti minat berkelanjutan terhadap seni sampul album ikonik tersebut.

Lelang berlangsung di Denhams di Sussex, di mana cetakan tersebut terjual £16.000, jauh melebihi perkiraan pra-penjualan £1.500 hingga £2.000. Penawar melalui telepon dari Inggris mengalahkan peserta online dari AS dalam kontes sengit. Leo Denham, direktur pengelola Denhams, menggambarkan penjualan itu sebagai sorotan sejarah musik. “Saya senang telah menjual karya penting sejarah musik dan mendapatkan hasil bagus untuk penjual,” kata Denham kepada LedZepNews. Ia mencatat kepuasan pembeli dan menekankan daya tarik abadi seni sampul album. Sebelum lelang, Denham menyebutnya “foto Victoria langka dan penting secara historis” serta bahan sumber untuk Led Zeppelin IV. Ia menambahkan bahwa Robert Plant pertama kali melihat versi berwarna di dekat rumah Jimmy Page, menandai penemuan ulang awalnya. Cetakan itu berukuran 60,8 x 44,4 cm, menjadikannya contoh terbesar dan beresolusi tertinggi yang diketahui. Ditemukan oleh pedagang seni rupa Tim Williams, yang melihatnya dalam katalog lelang draf. Williams, penggemar Led Zeppelin dan gitaris, meneliti barang itu dan memberi tahu Denham tentang signifikansinya. “Saya bilang ‘Leo, ini gambar dari sampul Led Zeppelin IV, album yang saya beli saat berusia 13 tahun,’” cerita Williams. Penjual, janda seorang pedagang barang antik, tidak menyadari nilainya. Penemuan ini menyusul penemuan sejarawan Brian Edwards pada 2023 dari cetakan asli yang lebih kecil (16,6 x 11,3 cm) dalam album foto. Edwards mengidentifikasi fotografer sebagai Ernest Howard Farmer dan petani jerami kemungkinan Lot Long. Kini, empat cetakan yang selamat diketahui, ditambah yang ditemukan Plant. Label parsial pada bingkai bertuliskan “thatcher (Devonshire)” dan mungkin “original photograph,” menunjukkan popularitas masa lalu gambar tersebut. Williams menyebut harga palu sebagai “hasil luar biasa” dan bertanya-tanya mengapa foto itu pudar dari ketenaran hingga digunakan pada album 1971.
