After being “lost” for 57 years, unseen photographs of The Beatles will now be displayed at London’s Shapero Modern Gallery in an exhibit entitled Lost Photographs Of The Beatles.
The snaps were taken on set for A Hard Day’s Night in 1964. They had just returned from their first US tour, and they were on the verge of being adored internationally.
These negatives that were unimaginably left undeveloped for 47 years have now been printed into prints in two sizes. Each print is strictly limited to 30-five.
Wow! Amazing!
John Lennon (Paul McCartney), George Harrison, Ringo Starr, and George Harrison look great in three-piece suits.
George is seen in the first image dancing with a fan, and Paul puffing away while waiting at Marylebone Station in the second.
The five-piece sit in the walled garden of Les Ambassadeurs Club in Mayfair before going on to pose against a traditional black lamp post.

Incredibly: Negatives that were left undeveloped for fifty seven years have now been printed into prints in two sizes. Each print is strictly limited to 305.
It was a great time! In one photo, George is seen with his fan dancing.
Magnificent. Taken on March 24, 1964 at the film’s set, A Hard Day’s Night. The snaps were taken after their first US tour.
Lord Christopher Thynne, who passed away in 2017 aged 82, was the mastermind behind the shots and had been sacked from the family seat in Longleat.
Shedding light on The Beatles’ quieter moments, Christopher was invited to the film set for only two days during a period where he was was pursuing a ‘more bohemian lifestyle’.
A Hard Day’s Night, considered one of the best music movies ever made, portrayed 36 hours in the lives of the band as they prepare for their television performances.
