The poster inside the Beatles 'White Album' as used as an advert and frequently is not credited to the artist/designer of the whole album as again invited by Paul McCartney as he did with Peter Blake and Sgt Pepper being the Beatle with the most informed knowledge of the then contemporary art world. It is and was of course designed by 'Father of Pop Art', Richard Hamilton (though Richard would dispute this title himself see my thesis interview with the artist 1975 ) It is a deceptively clever work of art and anyone possessing the original poster insert has a treasure worthy of framing.
