Photographs taken by Paul McCartney during the early rise of Beatlemania will be showcased in central London later this month.
The exhibition, titled Rearview Mirror: Liverpool–London–Paris, will be shown at the Gagosian Gallery on Davies Street from 28 August until 4 October.
The photographs, taken on McCartney’s 35mm Pentax camera, chronicle a close-up look at the Beatles as their reputation spread beyond Liverpool ahead of their debut visit to the US.
The black and white photos are a look at the in-between moments in the band’s trajectory, from their 1963 UK tour, to their first as headliners and three-week residency at the Olympia Theatre in Paris, the Gagosian said.
