About the Item
Queen - Freddie Mercury - signed, limited edition
by Martyn Goddard
Queen Southampton 26/5/1977
Signed limited edition of 25 only this size
One of three rolls of film used to produce the 'In the City' album cover for the Jam shot in my studio in London March 1977.
The band had style and the slick black suits helped produce what was to be one of Polydor Records first monochrome album covers.
Martyn made album cover photographs for The Jam, Blondie, The Cure and others over the course of a 20 year career.
After a period assisting acclaimed photographer Gered Mankowitz, Martyn Goddard became a regular face on the New Wave music scene of the seventies and early eighties. This was an era of LP picture discs with serious budgets requiring creative photography. Photographing acts such as Blondie, The Jam, The Cure, Sham 69, Ian Dury, and Toyah lead to commissions from Queen and Elton John’s Rocket Records in the rock mainstream.
While working for the Sunday Telegraph Magazine, You and Sunday Times Magazine in the 1980’s Goddard shot portraits and features with recording acts such as Genesis, U2, Jethro Tull, UB40 and Wham, progressing to portraits of great writers, artists, actors and politicians. A period of working with Wham in the late 1980’s, including their groundbreaking tour of China, closed a chapter of life within the music business.
Martyn went on to work for Car magazine, creating new techniques of automotive and travel photography.

Born George Allen Aarons, he spent his youth in New Hampshire and New York before joining the army during World War II, where his photography career began. Working throughout his career with magazines like Life, Holiday, and Town & Country gave Aarons the chance to document the jet-set lifestyle of Hollywood stars, American and European socialites, and other celebrated figures. His approach was simple; using no make-up artists or artificial lights, he let the natural opulence of his subjects and their surroundings illuminate his lens.
