There aren’t many album covers, or
indeed images, more iconic than the
one that adorns the Beatles’ 1969
record, Abbey Road. The product of an
idea sketched by Sir Paul McCartney,
the photograph has acquired legendary
status, transforming what was a
nondescript North London pedestrian
safety device into an unofficial shrine to
one of the world’s most popular bands.
Perhaps the most imitated scene in
music history, the celebrated pose has
been emulated by everyone from The
Simpsons and Red Hot Chili Peppers to
Blur and, captured in true British style
by photographer Robert Griffin, the
English National Ballet.
