Additional Details: This reproduction features one of the iconic images of the Swinging Sixties, created by artist Richard Hamilton. Titled Release, the image shows Mick Jagger and Hamilton’s art dealer, Robert Fraser, handcuffed together in the back of a police car, shielding their faces from photographers. The photograph captures the moment after both were arrested for possession of drugs in 1967. This infamous incident followed a high-profile police raid at Keith Richards’ home, leading to the arrest of several individuals, including Jagger and Fraser. The image has become symbolic of the cultural clash between the conservative establishment and the rising counterculture of the 1960s, with Jagger and Fraser, figures at the forefront of art and music, being seen as rebellious icons of that era.
