Lot 40: The Beatles performing on the Ed Sullivan Show circa 1964. The Sullivan photo was taken during the dress rehearsal for the show on February 9, 1964, during which the Beatles recorded three songs for later broadcast (February 23, 1964). The photo is of them performing “I Want To Hold Your Hand” (featured above).

The condition of the Beatles negatives are as shown in the scans online and have not been touched up. They come with a 1 of 1 edition print which was done this year in order to better illustrate these beautiful pieces during the viewing and to show how the negatives translate.

Morgan Young from Invaluable’s marketing team had this to say about the photos:

"The majority of the Eve Bowen photos were taken in one session on the train journey to Washington U.S.A during the Beatles first ever U.S tour in 1964 and offer a lovely insight into what seem to be very playful men. Most of the negatives were acquired as a group and several have been previously illustrated online with the consent of the vendor. What makes this opportunity so unique is that they come with copyright so the owner may use the image and reproduce it as they wish.”
