Lot Essay

This collection of photographs were compiled by one obsessive fan, who actually ended up on the Apple payroll. The photos include images she took herself, and copies of photos taken by other fans, who would religiously wait outside various Beatle-related addresses in the hope of seeing, and possibly meeting, a member of the band.
