The photo was taken at the Rose Bowl Aquatics Center in Pasadena, California, and was featured for the cover of Nirvana's iconic second album, "Nevermind," which helped define Generation X and catapulted the Seattle band to international prominence that year.
Spencer Elden was 4 months old when he was photographed nude in a pool by a family acquaintance in 1991.

Elden appeared to enjoy his role in the legendary cover in the decades that followed, recreating the scene for the album's 10th, 17th, 20th, and 25th anniversaries, but not naked.
In a 2016 interview with The New York Post, he remarked, "It's amazing but odd to be a part of something so big that I don't even remember," in which he posed holding the album cover at the age of 25.
Elden, 30, has now launched a federal lawsuit against Kurt Cobain's estate, as well as the musician's former bandmates David Grohl and Krist Novoselic, and Cobain's widow, Courtney Love. He alleged that they benefitted from his nude image, as did Geffen Records, who released "Nevermind." With at least 30 million copies sold globally, it is one of the best-selling records of all time.
