Rare authenticated A4 size black and white photograph of a young Eric Clapton, taken by Harry Goodwin, who was the resident photographer on Top of the Pops from 1964-73.

Labelled in Harry’s own hand and stamped on the reverse. The lot also includes a handwritten letter from Harry, gifting the photo to his mentor and fellow BBC photographer Ron Howard.

Harry was notoriously unwilling to sell his prints. Some are held in the National Portrait Gallery and others have appeared in exhibits but very few are in private hands.

In excellent condition, clear and crisp with no issues to note.
