George Harrison's Beatles-era photos to be released in new book The Third Eye
Harrison's widow, Olivia Harrison, compiled and curated the book, which covers the years 1963-69 and includes photos of The Beatles everywhere from their native Liverpool to India to Shea Stadium.
'I want to show people, from George's unique photographic perspective during the Beatles' early years, the moments when the whole of your life is ahead of you with unknowable possibilities,' Olivia Harrison said of her late husband, who died in 2001, in a statement released by Random House.
'His images in The Third Eye capture that spirit.'
The Harrison book features essays by Olivia Harrison and by two celebrated literary authors: Irish novelist Colm Toibin, a former chancellor of the University of Liverpool, wrote the introduction, and American short story writer George Saunders contributed an epilogue.
The Third Eye also includes George Harrison's words alongside his pictures.
Fellow Beatles Sir Paul McCartney and Sir Ringo Starr have also released photo books.
Sir Ringo's Photograph, also the title of a hit song written by Sir Ringo and Harrison, came out in 2015.
In 2023, Sir Paul published 1964: Eyes Of The Storm.

Calvin Harris welcomes first child with wife and radio presenter Vick Hope
Harris posted a series of photographs on Instagram on Monday along with the caption: '20th of July our boy arrived. Micah is here!' He added: 'My wife is a superhero and I am in complete awe of her primal wisdom! Just so grateful. We love you so much Micah.' Vick Hope and Calvin Harris at The Brit Awards 2024 (Ian West/PA) The comments section was flooded with congratulations from fans around the world as well as fellow musicians including Jade Thirlwall and Craig David. Some comments expressed surprise at the choice of photographs the DJ shared which included what appears to be the before and after shots of the placenta, the organ which forms in the womb during pregnancy, before it was steamed, dehydrated and ground into pills to be consumed. Consuming one's own placenta, known as placentophagia, remains a debated practice with some claiming it offers health benefits. Among the supporters was singer Becky Hill who posted in the comments: 'Love to see the placenta!! Amazing we grow a whole new organ to provide life! Good job not wasting it either, that's some goddess magic right there!' Celebrities who have reportedly eaten their own placenta include reality star and businesswoman Kim Kardashian, American singer and actress Mandy Moore, and Mad Men star January Jones. Hope, 35, is best known for presenting the BBC Radio 1 drivetime show Going Home. She reportedly married the Dumfries-born DJ in 2023. He is behind the hit number one songs Sweet Nothing, Summer, and Promises.
