A collection of Beatles photographs will sell at Christie's London Sale on September 3 (today).
The first image of the Beatles to appear on the front page of a newspaper
The highest estimate among the collection is held by a photograph entitled The Beatles Backyard, which was taken by Terry O'Neill on one of his first assignments back in 1963. The shot was the first time the Beatles had appeared on the front page of a British newspaper, causing the issue to promptly sell out at the height of Beatlemania. A superb early image, it will sell with an estimate of £5,000-6,000.
Following this will be a silver gelatin print, numbered 2 from an edition of 21, which was released from the Norman Parkinson archive in 2009. Picturing the Beatles at the President Hotel in London's Russell Square, it was dubbed "The Kebab Shot" by Parkinson in reference to its linear composition. Christie's has set a £1,800-2,200 estimate.
