Hi Ron...I like the look of this clever collage a lot! Great use of the boys using semaphore spelling out the words HELP. Who is pictured on the prescription bottle?
In fact, the Beatles weren't posed in a way that spelled out H-E-L-P, or anything else meaningful, in semaphore. Their arm positions corresponded, at best, to either the sequence N-U-J-V or N-V-U-J, depending upon whether one examined the U.K. or U.S. version of the album (which featured slightly different arrangements of the four group members on their covers).

ReplyDeleteApparently they tried HELP in semaphore but the arrangement didnt look very good so they chose NUJV which looked better!
DeleteI think I read that someplace. Maybe The Rutles doing OUCH! would've been more fitting. :D
DeleteOh...I had no idea. I just GOOGLED:

I ALWAYS learn something I never knew before by being a member of The Kollage Kit!!
DeleteThank you Angie. The man on bottle is Nye Bevan (1897-1960) Labour politician and founder of the NHS.
ReplyDeleteExcellent bit of snipping! The Beatles always make me feel better! (all the time!)
ReplyDeleteNot a bad prescription, 4 x Fablets a day.
DeleteGood one Ron!!
