The Beatles: Pocket Diary and Calendar with over 20 images of The Beatles all taken by photographer Richard Ellis. Pocket diary measures 4 x 3" and is in near to mint condition. Diary's spine is taught and appears it has never been fully opened. Produced by Beat Productions, and stamped "Made In Scotland" the photos included in the diary, the original photos are available elsewhere in this auction. The diary comes with a vintage photo that shows the point-of-sale materials as well as the original photo of the image used on The Beatles Diary. A must for collectors of Beatles ephemera.
Also included is an 8 x 10" glossy image of enthusiastic fans outside The Plaza Hotel, New York with two different Associated News copyrights taken February, 1964. Photo has emulsion foxing and toning in left and bottom white margins but the 6¼ x 9½" actual image is quite fine. Do note the amusement of the policeman dead center. The generational divide is humorously apparent. Estimated Value $500 - 900
