BEATLES: JOHN LENNON IN BLONDE PIGTAILS -- 11x14 PROOF PHOTO ONE OF A KIND DISPLAY PLACARD
!
British television viewers who tuned into the Rediffusion network at 9:45 pm on the evening of May 6th, 1964 saw a program that began with a silhouette of three early modern trumpeters playing a fanfare. After the fanfare subsided, lights came up to reveal that the trumpeters were actually John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison. The shot then cut to a troupe of actors entering a thrust stage which was ringed by a screaming throng of young fans treated to the sight of Paul McCartney under a ridiculous styrofoam helmet as Pyramus, John Lennon in white dress, blonde pigtails and gap-tooth as Thisbe, George Harrison with lantern and dog as Moonshine, and Ringo in costume as Lion.
11" x 14" DISPLAY PLACARD PHOTOGRAPH (1979) CONDITION: Very fine. Placard has a slight storage curve that will flatten out when put under pressure or framed.
DESCRIPTION: Silver Screen Productions, Inc. original proof photo placard on heavy 1/8" placard board. This placard weighs over 4 ounces and is a unique Beatles collectible. It was produced in very limited quantity for in-house inspection/decision precedent to publishing but for some reason was apparently never offered for sale to Beatles fans.
Although, none of the placards are back-stamped, most of the other same proof photos in this rare collection are back-stamped: SILVER SCREEN PROD., INC. ©1979 Not for reproduction.
This rare Beatles publicity photo placard is from a nearly forty years old proof file copy find--and has never before been released publicly by anyone other than us (to our knowledge).
