Led Zeppelin - 1971

November 8, 1971: fans began finding an Album in record stores with no name on it. On the front cover there was just an old man with a bundle of sticks on his back. Folding the front- en back cover together revealed that the old-man-scene was a painting; hanging on a wall of an apartment that was partly torn down.

This 19th-century rustic oil painting on the front of the album was purchased from an antique shop in Reading, Berkshire by Robert Plant.
