If you're looking for a different pic, our own Pete McCormack's section on Lennon (which is nicely done, BTW!):

He's got the sunglasses, the Python strap, and the Accent arm's not bent yet...late '64/early '65 is my best guess.

I was thinking half-tone dots from a magazine or book reproduction.

Yes, magaine or newspaper. You can blow it up in Photoshop and try various filters, but the dots will still be there.

I registered as a private user but info on purchasing has to be sent to the owner at his e-mail address. I imagine that Beatles pics like this would be expensive, but who knows?
