Made in New York’s East Village during the session for the Ramones’ self-titled debut album, Bayley’s direct black-and-white image turned four musicians against a brick wall into one of the defining visual statements of early punk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOffered here is an \u003cstrong\u003eoriginal vintage gelatin silver print made in 1976\u003c\/strong\u003e—not a later edition.
