We are delighted to have tracked down another set of our favourite Beatles images!

Every now and again, while searching for original vintage movie posters, we come across posters that aren't movie related, but, are just too good, we have to buy them. We call these our 'non-movie' collection.

From the 'non-movie' collection we present a guaranteed original set of four Richard Avedon psychedelic posters of The Beatles from 1967.

Photographer Richard Avedon first snapped The Beatles in 1965. Two years later, in August 1967, he returned with the group to the same studio on Gray's Inn Road, London. It was three months after the release of Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and the session caught the band at their creative peak.

The copyrights to all photos was owned by NEMS Enterprises Limited, the firm run by The Beatles manager, Brian Epstein.

Four photos, as seen here, became colourful psychedelic shots. Another four were used to produce a black and white banner poster, known affectionately as The Mount Rushmore banner. 

All five were then made in to posters and published simultaneously world-wide. In the U.K. they were made available to fans through the Daily Express newspaper. In the U.S. through Look magazine. In Europe, they were available through Stern magazine and our posters are from this release.

These posters have never been folded and have been professionally linen-backed (see our FAQs). They are stunning and display absolutely beautifully. They really do have to be seen to be believed.

We only sell guaranteed original posters. We do not sell reproductions.

Note: These posters are priced unframed. Photos showing framed and 'in room' images are for illustration only. Please check our hi-res images and the sizing information shown above.

Original Poster Buying Guide

Authenticity & Original Posters

Art of the Movies specialises exclusively in authentic original cinema posters issued for theatrical release. These are not modern reproductions or decorative reprints.

Original posters were produced in limited numbers for cinemas to promote films during their initial release. As a result, surviving examples have become highly collectible artefacts of film history.

Each poster offered on this site is an authentic vintage piece created for cinema exhibition and carefully selected for collectors and film enthusiasts.

Condition & Age

Vintage cinema posters were working promotional materials used by theatres and distributors. As such, signs of age and handling are normal and form part of their character.

Condition is carefully assessed for each poster and reflected in the description. Where relevant, notes may include details such as light handling wear, fold lines from original cinema distribution, or minor edge wear.

Any significant restoration or conservation work will always be clearly stated.

Poster Formats & Dimensions

Original cinema posters were produced in a variety of standard formats depending on the country and era of release.

Common formats include UK Quad, US One Sheet and other theatrical display sizes. Exact dimensions for each poster are provided in the product details where relevant.

These historic formats are part of the distinctive character of original film advertising.

Framing Options

Many posters can be supplied professionally framed as an optional extra.

Framing is carried out using archival-quality materials designed to protect and display vintage paper safely. Frames are prepared to complement the artwork while maintaining a clean, gallery-style presentation.

Where framing is available, it can be selected before purchase.

Packaging & Delivery

Posters are carefully packaged to ensure safe delivery.

Unframed posters are typically shipped rolled safely packaged within our extra-thick custom-made tubes. Framed pieces are securely boxed using protective materials to minimise movement during transit.

Orders are dispatched with tracking where available.
