This edition was created from press cuttings collected by the artist at art dealer Robert Fraser's gallery after the arrest of Fraser and Mick Jagger for drug possession. The assemblage includes the infamous photograph of Robert Fraser and Mick Jagger handcuffed together in a police van taken by John Twine and marked the first time this specific image was used by Hamilton (he later produced several editions focusing the entire printed image on this arrest photograph). Photo-offset lithograph from 6 plates, printed in colors, on Fabriano wove paper, signed in pencil, dated '10/11/69', inscribed 'For Carl Vogel/With Love/Sincerely' and stamp-numbered 322 on the verso, one of 50 artist's proofs aside from the numbered edition of 50 and a gift to the artist's friend and esteemed collector, Carl Vogel (there is also an unsigned edition of 1950), printed by the artist and Sergio Tosi, published by Ed 912 Edizioni di Cultura Contemporanea.
