In 2020, an extraordinary trove of nearly a thousand photographs taken by Paul McCartney on a 35mm camera was re-discovered in his archive. They intimately record the months towards the end of 1963 and beginning of 1964 when Beatlemania erupted in the UK and, after the band's first visit to the USA, they became the most famous people on the planet. The photographs are McCartney's personal record of this explosive time, when they, The Beatles, were inside looking out and were the "Eyes of the Storm".
"1964" will be launched alongside a major exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in London.
