Beatles Original Candid Photograph from the 1966 ‘Bravo-Beatles-Blitztournee’ German Press Conference Original vintage glossy 3.25 x 3.5 candid photograph of the Beatles at a press conference during their 1966 German ‘Bravo-Beatles-Blitztournee.’ The reverse is annotated in pencil by photographer Jana Mazura with her name and address, “K. Neuestadt, Buchenpfad 14,” and the German inscription, “Mein schönster Tag!,” or ‘My most beautiful day!’ Also bears a Foto Schnelldienst stamp, numbered “600.” In fine condition, with trivial emulsion irregularity, and adhesive remnants to the reverse. The Beatles' 1966 tour of West Germany, promoted by the youth magazine Bravo and billed as the ‘Bravo-Beatles-Blitztournee,’ was the band's only tour of the country following their departure from Hamburg's Star-Club in January 1963. Held over three days in late June 1966, it comprised six concerts in three cities — Munich, Essen, and Hamburg — with the group traveling between stops by private train. Each stop included a press conference alongside the afternoon and evening performances, drawing local press photographers to document the band both on stage and off.
