The black and white photographs which have been stored in a box for 45 years were taken by then 18 years old Mike Mitchell. Mitchell who still works as a photographer was present when The Beatles arrived at Union Station and he was able to document the fans' hysteria. He then documented the Beatles concern at the Baltimore Civic Center months later.
The Beatles performed their first U.S. concert at Washington Coliseum on February 11th, 1964.
Mitchell's photos will go on public exhibition in June at Christie's then at Grosvernor House hotel in London. It will be followed by the New York exhibit and sale in July.
