MP4 SIZE 20" X 24"

George Harrison in the studio in 1965. This was the year that Harrison emerged as a songwriter of considerable talent. The group recorded four of his songs during that year; a remarkable achievement when you consider that he was competing with the greatest songwriting team of the century.

Filming the 'Buckingham Palace' scenes for Help! at Twickenham Studios, 12 April 1965. Richard Lester commented that he thought 'Paul cared most about acting because he had a girlfriend who was an actress and she was very interested in the theatre...

MP12 SIZE 20" X 24"

On Salisbury Plain in May 1965. The Beatles had never before been seen with military personnel. Word made it back to Fleet Street and a posse of hacks promptly made their way to Wiltshire on 3 May for photos.

[The Guardian, 8 November 1999]

MP29 SIZE 20" X 24"

Salibury Plain, May 1965. Even in May any notion of a glorious spring can be dashed when standing on Salisbury Plain. George Harrison clearly shows the cold.

MP30 SIZE 20" X 24"

MP31 SIZE 20" X 24"

George and Paul at the Antrobus Arms Hotel, Amesbury, in May 1965. Given their hectic filming schedule, there was little time for carousing after hours.

MP32 SIZE 20" X 24"

The Antrobus Arms, Amesbury, in May 1965. John: 'If I thought I'd got to go through the rest of my life being pointed and stared at I'd give up The Beatles now.

MP39 SIZE 20" X 24"

Paul McCartney in the studio, late 1965.

MP41 SIZE 20" X 24"

Paul McCartney in the studio, late 1965.

Having been involved previously in the Hungarian craft movement he taught himself photography, encouraged by his close friend, the Polish artist Josef Herman. He used an unobtrusive humanist approach, fading into the background and capturing his subjects in a relaxed and natural manner. He travelled extensively throughout his career, including three tours with the Save the Children Fund and his work includes photographs from Israel, Korea, North Africa and India, as well as from Great Britain and other European countries. In the 1960s he regularly featured subjects from the performing arts, including the dancers of the Royal Ballet and actors from BBC drama and Prospect Theatre. His collection also includes images of leading figures in contemporary politics, literature and entertainment such as Nelson Mandela, Ian McKellen and C. S. Lewis. When Peto died in 1970 his extensive archive of 130,000 prints and negatives was left to the University of Dundee by his family and is managed by the University's Archive Services. Following a project to digitise parts of the collection, over 400 photographs of the most influential band in history were rediscovered. The photographs in this exhibition show the Beatles in 1965, the year of the filming of Help! and the award of their MBEs. Peto appears to have had unprecedented access behind the scenes access to The Beatles at a time when their image was still tightly controlled. The exhibition presents a series of high quality photographic prints, two framed interpretation boards and four large mounted prints all developed from Peto's original negatives.
