12 to February 15, 2005. Relive the Beatles' visit to Baltimore
on September 13, 1964 with a special exhibition in the Newhall Gallery

More than thirty rare photographs taken by Morton Tadder will be

conference, and performing on stage. Most of the photographs have
never been published in the U.S.

of the excitement felt that day through the photographs of the fans
and public figures in attendance. Also on display will be pieces
from the collection of a Maryland collector of Beatles paraphernalia.
Tadder, a photographer who worked in Baltimore for 50 years, has
donated his Maryland-related photographs to the Maryland Historical
Society. His collection documents many aspects of Maryland life,
and his work has appeared in many national and international magazines.
Limited edition posters and photos will be available for sale throughout
the duration of the exhibit in the museum shop located on the first
floor of the Carey Center for Maryland Life. Posters and photos
also will be available for purchase online at http://www.mdhs.org/store.html.
