Title: Anyone know where I can get this picture?
Post by: jasonmcbride on June 24, 2021, 11:04:47 PM

Hi everyone, I'm wanting to get a poster size print of the portrait on the front of the book -
John Lennon: The Life
by Philip Norman
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3423364-john-lennon (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3423364-john-lennon)

Does anyone know where I can get a high resolution copy of this to print out poster size?
Cheers
Jason

Welcome to the Forum, Jason!

The best I could do was to find you a high resolution print with the book tile and author's name on it...

Thanks!, I am really looking for just the pic, I wonder where it was from originally?

That’s a nice portrait. You can see the young John still showing through.

Hi, Jason: You may want to try contacting either Philip Norman through his website; the publisher, HarperCollins; the graphic designer, Jessica Shatan Heslin of Studio Shatan, Inc.;, or even the photographer, Bob Gruen. I don't have time right now to chase down the URLs, but I'm sure they can easily be found online.

HarperCollins might be your best bet, but definitely try to contact an individual, probably someone in the copyright department. Your best bet of tracking down a high-resolution print lies with the copyright holder.

Alternatively, you could track down a printer/graphic artist and ask them to mask the text from a high-res print of your own, as long as you don't try to profit off it (i.e., sell it).

Good luck! It is a great photo.
