Specialist note

Robert Freeman is most celebrated for his album cover photos for The Beatles and his design work on the end credit sequences of their first two films and related film posters and advertising materials.

As the Beatles' most favoured photographer from 1963 to 1966, he arguably shot the most iconic images of them to date. He also photographed and designed the covers for five consecutive album covers of the Beatles-sanctioned UK album releases on the Parlophone label.
