1967 Daily Express Richard Avedon Beatles posters

complete with their Original Packing Daily Express Tube dated 29th Feb 1968

All Marked Limited First Edition

This set is complete and in absolutely Fantastic Condition, and most importantly unfolded and without pinholes, infact this pays testament to the fact they have spent most the last 40 years stored in their original Daily Express Tube, A fold in a poster to a collector can halve the value, and these poster were printed on paper, unlike the stern copies issued in Europe, which are quite common and readily available on Ebay. The Daily Express issues are very hard to come across in any condition, which is why this is the only set you can find on Ebay Worldwide, as proof of this point, a set of 4 DAILY EXPRESS  posters (no banner ) folded and in worn condition sold for £1050 in 2004 at Christies.

These posters represent true early pop art and are fantastic psycadelic representation of the Worlds most famous band of the 1960's era. A truely beautifull Beatles item.
