Liverpool Days

THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF MAX SCHELER AND ASTRID KIRCHHERR

In 1964 Astrid Kirchherr and Max Scheler travelled from Hamburg to London to photograph The Beatles. Astrid already knew The Beatles well and had photographed them when they'd lived and worked, honing their craft, in the Hamburg clubs.

This new assignment for Astrid and Max involved shooting The Beatles on the set of A Hard Day's Night and in their London homes. From there the pair travelled to Liverpool to photograph The Beatles' haunts, other Liverpool groups and to record lunchtime sessions at The Cavern Club.

The result is an amazing archive of photographs. 2,500 copies of Liverpool Days were bound in full canvas with print and slipcase, and autographed by Astrid Kirchherr and Max Scheler.
