Condition B+ / B: restored losses, repaired tears and staining in margins; sharp creases in image. Mounted on Japan.
A psychedelic paean to the swinging 60s in London and an unabashed representation of The Beatles, in which the Maharaja seems to be taking the role of Ringo Starr. The Beatles first went to India in 1968, and perhaps that trip was the inspiration for this image.
