Beatles Auction 2020 - Very Rare Abbey Road Photographic Prints

These amazing Abbey Road Prints are going into our auction later this month. 

Each one will be a separate lot. 

The fifth frame from the six Beatles images taken on the day was chosen as the album cover. 

Each comes with a copy of a letter explaining that the prints were originally given to the previous owner's mother who lived near the photographer, Iain McMillan. 

The Frame 1 print also comes with the original card packing which includes the photographer's signature and the date of the photoshoot. (The other frames come with a copy of this.) 

There are two copies of Frame 4 up for sale, one is uncropped and shows the negative identifier. 

All the prints are on Kodak paper and measure 11.5" square (the uncropped version of Frame 4 measures 12" square) 

The image on the Blue Dress print was used for the back cover of the album. 

These prints are highly sought after by collectors.
