All Along The Watchtower (2018) | Bob Dylan

All Along The Watchtower (2018), a hand signed limited edition print by the legendary Bob Dylan from the debut Mondo Scripto collection.

The Mondo Scripto collection features a selection of Bob Dylan’s most renowned lyrics, handwritten by him in pen on paper and accompanied by an original pencil drawing - offering for the first time ever a visual representation of his lyrics.

Originally recorded after the motorcycle accident that sidelined Dylan for a period beginning in 1966, this song has proved to be a favourite of many, including Jimi Hendrix, who recorded a powerful version. The scene is claustral; a threat looms just out of range as two outsiders in masquerade, trapped in a place where nobody knows the worth of anything, talk about escape. A haunting, inconclusive, dreamlike lyric, ending just with ambiguous news coming into view in the person of two riders approaching as a storm begins to rise.

First album release: John Wesley Harding, 1967
