Now these days are gone - The Beatles photographs of Michael Peto
Saturday, August 18, 2007 - Sunday, March 02, 2008
Recently rediscovered photographs of The Beatles on show in Liverpool for the first time in this exhibition - a must-see for fans of the fab four.

Michael Peto was one of the great photo journalists of the 1960s, with much of his work appearing in the Observer. These photographs of The Beatles, taken in 1965 around the time of Help! and Rubber Soul, demonstrate Peto’s unobtrusive approach, capturing his subjects in a relaxed, natural manner.

The pictures show The Beatles off guard and behind the scenes at a time when most professional photographers only had access to them at carefully managed photo-calls. No-one knows how Peto secured such unfettered access to the most famous group in the world, but these photos provide a fascinating insight into The Beatles at work and off duty.

This exhibition has been produced by the University of Dundee, the custodian of the Michael Peto photographic collection.
