Unseen photos of The Beatles during the filming of A Hard Day's Night set to be showcased at upcoming exhibition after being 'lost' for 57 years
Unseen photos of The Beatles will be shown at London's Shapero Modern Gallery - in an exhibition entitled Lost Photographs Of The Beatles - after being 'lost' for 57 years.
Taken in the spring of 1964 on the set of the film, A Hard Day's Night, the snaps came off the back of their first US tour and on the brink of international adoration.
The negatives, which unbelievably remained undeveloped for fifty-seven years, have been developed prints into prints of two sizes, strictly limited to thirty-five of each.

George can be seen dancing with a fan in one image, while Paul puffs away on a cigarette while waiting at Marylebone station in another.
The five-piece sit in the walled garden of Les Ambassadeurs Club in Mayfair before going on to pose against a traditional black lamp post.
