A HARD DAY'S NIGHT

Banners (2) (24" x 83.75")
Fine Rolled
United Artists , 1964 & 1965

Banners were generally produced to cover an area over the entryway to a theater. Often, they were silk-screened and had the Sign Painter's Union Seal on them. They were printed in far fewer numbers than almost all other formats, as theater owners ordered fewer. This group of two banners is a very rare combination and would be a great find for the Beatles completist.

The Help! banner has several scuffs and marks. The Hard Day's Night has some tanning, small tears, and edge wear.

A Hard Day's Night is a British musical comedy directed by Richard Lester and starring the Beatles; John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr.

Help! is a 1965 British musical comedy also directed by Lester, starring the Beatles, and sees the band trying to protect Ringo Starr from a sinister cult.
