I have previously discussed the mystique revolving around the photographic history of legendary bluesman Robert Johnson. The fact that only two photos of him exist just add to the his allure.
Well, after the recent discovery that a supposed picture turned out to be a fake, a real third one has been unearthed and confirmed.
The Houston Chronicle has stated that it was found "in an antique Winthrop desk, filled with odds and ends, bought in a 2013 auction'.
Lois Gibson, a forensic artist for the Houston Police confirmed it, and the Johnson estate has as well.
This is another great piece of history in blues music.
