1974 Beatles Pictorial Map
Liverpool, England: City of Liverpool, 1974. 1st Edition. Near Fine. Item #15979
A beautiful and quite scarce 1974 pictorial map featuring landmarks associated with the Fab Four in the city where they got their start.
This map was part of a promotional package issued by the city of Liverpool to capitalize on the popularity of one of the most influential bands in history, a few years after the Beatles' famous 1970 split.
This map "represents an early and far-sighted official appreciation of how Liverpool's vibrant music scene might help revive the city's flagging fortunes, but it is also an appreciation of the recent past." - Bryars and Harper.
Designed by Liverpool-based art studio McCaffrey and Sharp, this map features important landmarks such as the Cavern, Strawberry Fields, Walton Hospital, where paul McCartney was born and several of the band members' former homes and schools. Also featured in the River Mersey is the famous Yellow Submarine.
This map measures 16" X 18", with original fold creases, and is perfect for framing and display!
