A very rare opportunity to aquire this fantasic "captured in time" artists print of the Fab Four. These have been sold out for many years now.
From a non smokers home, kept in dark room with no uv exposure - only artifical lighting.
This is 1 of the 19 ORIGINAL issues - not a later print! No 13 of 19. (Most that come up for sale are from the 195 later copies - not Genuine Artists Proofs)
London Galleries are selling these for £10,000.00 plus.
Will be posted in a heavy duty postal tube - no glass or frame unless you collect from me.

This is an original 1st edition Artists Proof No 13 of 19, "Scene from the Thames 1", dated 2007, by Tom Murray of the Fab Four Beatles together, taken on their now famous Mad Day Out in London - Summer 1968.
This particular print is the most popular, showing all 4 lads loking very relaxed and has been publicesed in many magazines, features and publications since these were released. I have include some of these articles with the print. Also included is the original Tom Murray full colour catalogue that was issued with the prints.
A fully dated authentication certificate is suplied with this fabulous framed print.
This had been in my late Father-In-Laws posession since it was released
in 2007 and inherited by my brother and I, but not being avid Beatles
Fan's we would rather invest in something more personal to us.
Astonishingly a few well known London Gallery's are now asking (and have sold for!!!) around £25,000.00 Sterling for these inital release prints - and I think you will agree - Art is a much safer investment than Banks these days with % returns....
Worldwide buyers welcome.
Will consider posting worldwide without frame in a secure postage tube at buyers cost. This is normal method for non painted artworks - insurance is approx 10-25% of the value - up to you the buyer to decide.
P&P Approx cost to
Japan inc £2000 insurance, in a secure heavy duty tube, signed for 4-6
day service, is approx £265.00 - Local postage will be calculated after
purchase.
Photo measures: 413mm high x 610mm wide (16 1/4" x 24")
On the 28th of July, 1968, Royal photographer, Tom Murray, LBIPP was asked by a fellow photographer to give him a lift to an early morning photoshoot in London. He said, ‘bring your camera you may get some nice snaps!’ Armed with just two rolls of colour film he had no idea who he was going to be working with that day.
As 25 year old Tom walked towards the door at the rehearsal rooms he could hear Lady Madonna playing out on the piano and as he entered the studio there they were; Paul at the piano, John with Yoko, George and Ringo, all waiting to hit the road for a frantic day of publicity shots. Rushing around London with a few other photographers on a summer’s Sunday morning, Tom, the youngest present, created some of the most iconic colour photographs ever taken of the band.
“It was a perfect assignment and a day to remember. Getting to hang out with my favourite band, to take pictures of the Fab Four was just sensational. Were they really mad? Well, you know what pop stars are like. They’re always running around doing crazy things. That’s what makes them so interesting.” – Tom Murray.
The day after the shoot, The Beatles recorded Hey Jude. Tom’s two rolls of film were processed and printed. He selected 23 images that he considered told the story. Incredibly, they were then stored away for almost thirty years.
In 1998 Tom Murray held an exhibition of the 23 surviving photographs of The Beatles. The photographs were viewed in public for the first time ever, since they were taken. Now, after many decades, Tom agreed to present what many consider to be the very best colour photographs of The Beatles.
