5 Art Prints To Give Away As Christmas Gifts: from Beatles to Bond

To give away a framed iconic photograph is not just a lovely gift – it's an opportunity to convey a feeling, a memory or simply to show compassion for someone's passion. Does your dad love The Beatles? Does your partner drive a Defender? By choosing an image that truly resonate with the recipient's interest, the artwork becomes more than just a decorative piece. It is a reminder on the wall of what we love.

Below you will find five iconic prints, each one with it's own unique story to tell. 

The Beatles recording of ”She loves you”

We all know someone who loves the iconic 60s pop group, The Beatles. A Beatles fan who has every LP and single in their collection most likely also owns the single She Loves You, the best-selling single in the UK and, according to Rolling Stones, one of the 500 greatest songs of all time. This photograph was captured during the recording of She Loves You by photographer Terry O’Neil on July 1, 1963, the same year the song was released. O’Neil photographed everyone from The Beatles and The Rolling Stones to Judy Garland, as well as members of the British royal family.

Land Rover Defender in Sankt Moritz

This photograph was captured by Britt Van Der Meijden in 2022 on the ice covered lake sankt Moritz in Switzerland. For the Land Rover driver or perhaps just for someone who dreams of owning one. This is the perfect print for the Land Rover owner or the Defender enthusiast who’s still waiting for their first Land Rover, or simply appreciates the iconic vehicle’s style and rugged charm.

Bruce Springsteen on Sunset Strip

Terry O'Neil's photographic expertise continues, this time in the form of a shot of the one and only The Boss, Bruce Springsteen. The photograph was taken on Sunset Strip in Los Angeles ahead of the release of his iconic album Born to Run in 1975. In black and white, the image creates sharp contrasts, capturing the personality of this Springsteen fan favourite.

Ferrari 212 1956

For the car enthusiast with a love for classic racing and timeless Italian design, this print featuring a Ferrari 212 makes a perfect Christmas gift. The photograph captures the car's elegant lines and powerful presence – a tribute to one of Ferrari's most iconic models. Ideal for adorning the wall for those who dreams of classic sports cars or simply appreciates beautiful photography, this print will bring a sense of speed, precision, and style to any room. Can you hear the roar of the V12?

Sean Connery reads a magazine in a deckchair

A photograph from 1971, taken by Anwar Hussein, capturing Sean Connery in a quiet moment in stark-contrast to the action-packed filming of the Bond-movie Diamonds Are Forever. To convince Connery to return as Bond for the film, he was offered a record-breaking fee of 1,25 million dollars – a substantial sum for the time. A figure that sure made it easier to take a break and enjoy life in the sun. This print fills the walls of your home with warm colours, green palm trees and 007-charm.
