I'm trying to collect as many pictures of The Beatles in the 1950's and earlier as possible. There are a lot of pictures from 1960 onwards, but not so much that predate 1960. There are some pictures here. Can you give me a hand?

George obviously going for a swim. Summer 1958.

George and his older brother Peter.

George and Paul during a hitchhike adventure, 1957.

John, ten years old.

Paul and George and ?. Date unsure

Paul, summer 1957.

I believe that should be Arthur Kelly instead of Jim. This picture is also described in Mark Lewisohn's Tune In.

Not sure whether this is 1950's. I guess not as Bob Wooler is pictured here with Paul and John.

John at the art college. Top left.

I think this pretty interesting. It is stated that the only known picture of John and his mother Julia together is this one, which is well-known:

But then I bumped into this:

Could very well be Julia. But is the baby on her arm John? Or maybe one of his sisters?

Seems to be Jacqueline in 1950.

Then you're the first one else was either John or Julian.
