Fabulous, early vintage glossy 6.5 x 8.5 photo of the Beatles in their modish suits, taken by Astrid Kirchherr in 1962, signed in black ballpoint by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. Double-matted and framed to an overall size of 14.75 x 16.75. In very good to fine condition, with scattered creasing, the heaviest of which passes diagonally through John's and George's jackets.
Taken by Hamburg-based photographer Astrid Kirchherr in 1962, this striking, full-length portrait of the Beatles captures the band at a pivotal early moment—just as they were transitioning from their raw club-band origins toward international stardom. Kirchherr, who played a major role in shaping their early aesthetic, photographed them in her signature minimalist, high-contrast style, emphasizing their sharp suits and youthful energy. Taken shortly after Ringo Starr joined the group, this exceptional fully signed photograph reflects the formation of the iconic Beatles lineup and stands as one of the defining visual documents of their pre-fame era.
