Gelatin silver print UK, 1964, printed later Robert Freeman (b. circa 1930) - British photographer Signed in silver ink lower right 'Freeman' Numbered in silver ink lower left '1/25' Framed and matted Image dimensions: 32 ¾ x 35 in. (81.2 x 88.9 cm.) Overall dimensions: 39 ½ x 39 ½ in. (100.3 x 100.3 cm.) Very good condition Taken during the sessions that produced the cover to "A Hard Days Night" (1964), this photograph by Robert Freeman shows repeating images of John Lennon. Taken from the side, Lennon is captured mid-smirk, peering out from above the collar of his jacket and wearing an unsnapped newsboy cap. A captivating image in its own right, the duplication of the photograph into four rows is a play on the Beatles' album cover, which has become an icon in its own right. Executed in 1964 and printed later, this gelatin silver print is signed and numbered one from an edition of twenty-five. The image measures 32 ¾ x 35 inches. Not examined out of frame; presumably excellent, original condition. Robert Freeman (British, b. circa 1930) British photographer Robert Freeman is best known for his work with British rock band the Beatles, photographing and designing eight of their album covers, two of John Lennon's books, and the title sequence of their two films, "A Hard Day's Night" and "Help." Freeman's interest in photography began at a young age, and he first came to prominence as a photojournalist working for The Sunday Times in London. During this time, he also photographed several jazz musicians; it was these photographs that impressed the Beatles' manager Brian Epstein and led to his first commission with the band.
