In the past, we've sold our fair share of Beatles-signed photos, albums, programs and postcards. But we've never seen anything quite like this! Offered here is a 9" x 12" original photograph taken by noted photographer Robert Whitaker, who took many of the group's early album cover photos, during their Beatles '65 session. The LP cover consisted of four separate photographs of the group. This photo depicts a silly outtake of one of these four shots, and was developed by Whitaker himself off of his original negative, after which he had the Fab Four sign it. All four signed in black ballpoint circa 1964. e this: A signed black & white original photograph by all four members of the British rock group, The Beatles, straight from their photoshoot for the "Beatles '65" album cover! Part of the everyday allure of The Beatles was their ability to joke around, giving them a very laid back sense despite the effort of former manager, Brain Epstein. This photo depicts that laid back goofiness well. An excellent collectible for the Beatles lover! In fine condition with minor handling wear and a couple of small pinholes. Accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from Beckett Authentication Services (BAS) as well as Beatles autograph expert Frank Caiazzo. Please note that the Caiazzo letter incorrectly names Robert Freeman, another Beatles photographer, as the photographer of this photograph.
