Robert Fraser and Mick Jagger, 1968

Photo by Michael Joseph The Rolling Stones were photographed at the historic Sarum Chase Estate in West London and Swarkestone Hall Pavillion in Derbyshire. England on June 7 and 8 1968. The band had been driven up to the castle from London in limos to shoot the cover of their seventh album, Beggars Banquet with photographer Michael Joseph.

According to Keith Richards, the title Beggars Banquet was imagined by British art dealer (and close friend of Fraser) Christopher Gibbs.

Here is Joseph's account of the interior photo shoot (Guardian article).

From The London Magazine:

"That the Rolling Stones were enjoying the process of working with Joseph is borne out by Mick Jagger inviting Joseph and his girlfriend at the end of the first day to travel to the next day’s location in his car. ‘He has two jump seats in his Daimler,’ Joseph recalls, ‘and most of the two hour journey up the newly opened M1 was spent racing the rest of the band in a similar Daimler to Swarkestone Hall Pavilion!’ The seventeenth-century pavilion stands in a large field called The Cuttle near the ruins of Swarkestone Hall. The exact purpose of the building is a subject of conjecture but it may have been a grandstand, summerhouse, or appropriately for the shoot a banqueting house. In racing to the location they arrived quite a while before Crier who was travelling in a van with both the Sinar camera and the props for the shoot. The bonhomie continued as Joseph explains that he was, ‘immensely pleased how co-operative everyone was in shooting numerous little cameos with my Hasselblad, which I thought could be useful, but were also to keep the Stones occupied whilst we waited as I felt if given a chance they may scarper to a local pub and never come out!’"

Presumably this shot of Fraser and Jagger was part of the "cameo photos".

Who, exactly, is a haute bohemian? Leave it to the discriminating, gimlet eye of photographer Miguel Flores-Vianna, who enjoys an international, cult-like following. He has journeyed through four continents to capture an extraordinary group of fashion designers, landscape architects, artists and art historians, potters, and interior designers, where they live—country cottages, beach bungalows, canal-side lofts, and East Village apartments, as well as assorted estancias, châteaux, and palazzi. Some of these spaces are grand, others are modest, but all are original, stylish, charming, and above all authentic, in the sense that they reflect their owners’ care and taste.

Argentine born, Miguel Flores-Vianna has been an editor, writer, and photographer for more than twenty-five years. His photography is regularly published in T, AD, World of Interiors, Vogue, and Town and Country. Flores-Vianna writes, produces, and snaps all the images for “Private Visit,” a worldly column about tastemakers, artists, and artisans. Until 2015, Flores-Vianna published a popular blog and print feature in T. He lives in London.

Amy Astley is the editor of Architectural Digest.
