The 24 large-format prints can either be retained in the silk-bound, handcrafted case or individually framed as desired. In a sense, it is an exhibition in a box (size: 18" length; 13.5" width; 1.5" depth).

The box itself features a neat recess in the base that contains the 'exhibition' catalogue: a 64-page book, also bound in Indian silk, hand-numbered and individually signed by the photographer. Specially printed in three inks, the book reproduces each plate and the accompanying story behind the photographs, with explanatory text, location information and a hand-drawn period map.

Signed by the photographer, this beautiful boxed set will be treasured for many years to come.

Created from Ward's bromide prints, the 24 lithographs are made using four-colour inks, randomly-dot screened on to heavyweight 300gsm archival paper. The finished reproduction is flawless (shown above, framed).

For permanence, each photographic print is matt acrylic varnished, and certified with an embossed Michael Ward signature (print size: 17" x 12.5").

The 24-print collection offers an incredibly rare slice of history, taken in the moments before Beatlemania took hold of the nation and then the world.
