Signed fine art photograph of John Lennon by Alan Messer, taken London, May 1968

Photographers notes:  John Lennon and George Harrison were celebrating the opening of Apple Tailoring at Club Dell'Aretusa in the Kings Road. There were press photographers, journalists, lots of those trendy fab gear people that usually cropped up at those sort of parties and me. John was in great spirits posing for promotional photographs in the restaurant's basement, singing a ditty “I’ll Apple you, if you'll Apple me...” accompanied by his (not yet publicly known) girlfriend, Yoko Ono. Not wishing to be intrusive, because he was married, I did not photograph John with Yoko. So John asked me if I would take some photographs for him. John and Yoko officially broke the news next day of their union.
