Original British Beatles posters are amongst the most sought-after posters from the 1960s. This poster contains 31 images of The Beatles, together with a surprise one, in Paul McCartney's row, of the actor Wilfred Brambell. Brambell was famous for his role in the British television series Steptoe and Son, but also played Paul McCartney's grandfather in A Hard Day's Night. 

This British musical comedy, directed by Richard Lester, was released in 1964 at the peak of Beatlemania. The film stars The Beatles and comically shows two 'regular' days in their lives.

Excellent condition, colours remaining very bright, minor restoration to folds and some small marks on the borders. There is also a small crease in the top left blank area of the poster, which does not affect the artwork.
