Provenance:
Photographers for the John Lennon photograph were Peter Timm and Gerd Claussen, on behalf of the German newspaper Bild. They are credited at the end of the newspaper's report (co-written by the vendor's late husband, John Martin) about John Lennon's return to Hamburg, specifically to the clubs of St Pauli where the Beatles had played. John Martin was a reporter in London at the time and worked from the Daily Telegraph building in Fleet Street. He accompanied the Beatles on the Hamburg trip and was given this photo from the series shoot.
