John Lennon “Bag One” Promotional Print
What You Are Getting
A vintage John Lennon “Bag One” promotional print — the classic announcement image for Lennon’s 1970 portfolio of lithographs. The black-and-white composition depicts the iconic zippered “BAG ONE” portfolio case (bearing Lennon’s printed signature within the artwork), the red “AAN Club — John Lennon’s Erotic Lithographs” card, a photograph of Lennon, and the “John Lennon / bag one” catalogue cover with his line-drawing of an embracing couple. Presented framed under glass in a black frame, approximately 9" × 12" × 2". This is a promotional / announcement print — NOT one of the original hand-signed Bag One lithographs. You receive the framed print exactly as shown.

About the Work
In 1970 John Lennon released “Bag One,” a portfolio of fourteen lithographs drawn in his spare, instantly recognizable line style — many depicting his honeymoon and marriage to Yoko Ono. The suite became notorious when several prints were seized by police on obscenity grounds during its London debut, cementing its place in pop-culture and Beatles history. This promotional print reproduces the portfolio’s presentation case and announcement imagery — a graphic, collectible piece of Lennon / Beatles ephemera.
About John Lennon
