This was the Beatles first real jet-set vacation, and the last before the onset of all-out Beatlemania world wide. Kircherr says the picture was probably taken by George Harrison, with her camera. Ringo Starr was also along for the trip; John Lennon was on his own separate holiday in Barcelona, where he famously did or did not have sex with manager Brian Epstein.
In any case, a remarkable photo; on Sept. 24 and 25, the actual print -- along with 600 more pieces from Kircherr's Beatles photo archives (negatives included) will be auctioned off at Guernsey's in Manhattan.

Great pic. McCartney looks like he's all of 15 years old...
Has there ever been a book or website featuring her Beatles photos beyond the few we have always seen?
ROTP(lumber)
An exhibit of her stuff toured in the last couple of years, but as for a book or website, I dunno.
Stu Sutcliffe had damn good taste, I'll say that for him.
Here are a few, along with a pic of her and George probably shot at the same time as the Paul pic.

They don't look happy.
I agree with Pete -- they both look spectacularly pissed off.
In addition to looking pissed-off...did Paul have a nose job...
Or am I just used to seeing his double now?
when he still looked like a man...
