Beskrivelse

Discover a rare collection of nearly a thousand photographs taken by Paul McCartney during the explosive rise of Beatlemania in the early 1960s. These images offer an intimate glimpse into the period when The Beatles became global icons.

A personal photographic journey through the whirlwind months of 1963 and 1964, capturing the cultural shift that defined the Sixties.

1964: Eyes of the Storm showcases 275 of Paul McCartney's own photographs from six key cities: Liverpool, London, Paris, New York, Washington, D.C., and Miami. These snapshots provide a unique, firsthand perspective of the band's meteoric rise and the pandemonium that surrounded them.

Alongside the images, McCartney shares his candid reflections on this intense period, which he describes as being in the "Eyes of the Storm." The book also features never-before-seen portraits of John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, adding depth to this historic moment.

The volume includes:

• Six city portfolios highlighting the legendary months of 1963-1964 and a Coda covering the later part of 1964.
• A Foreword penned by Paul McCartney himself.
• Beatleland, an insightful introduction by Harvard historian and New Yorker essayist Jill Lepore.
• A Preface by Nicholas Cullinan, Director of the National Portrait Gallery in London.

This book captures not just the images, but the spirit of a cultural revolution as seen through the eyes of one of its central figures.
