Thanks for trying to credit the source, but unfortunately the ones you credited weren’t as honest about where they got the photo. I made the scan and originally posted it in the Yahoo! groups: Something About Pattie Boyd, Lady Jane & Cynthia Powell Lennon - and on this blog several months ago.
Bangor, Wales
August 27, 1967 - This shot by Henry Grossman was published on the cover of Teen Life magazine in 1967 cut into two pieces and with the background removed. This version was made by aligning the two pieces and scanning them over a similar photo to restore the look of the original background - plus some additional touch-ups.

Photographer Henry Grossman spent so much time with Beatles they considered him a friend. He talks about his experiences with them and taking photos of them.

The Kinfauns Photo Shoot, 1965
Henry Grossman’s comments about how his relationship with the Beatles went from professional to personal:
It was probably a matter of personality. I love people. I’m curious. I liked them a lot. I was learning from them. I was having fun with them. When we were in Austria, George said, “When we get back to London, can you take pictures of Pattie and me?” Later we visited John. I wasn’t seizing the moment to pose them in funny ways; I was just around them. I was like a fly on the wall. I was there at a lot of important moments. I was with them the day Brian Epstein died.
* * * *Henry Grossman wrote in his chapter: {March 1965} ‘Kinfauns’ Esher, Surrey
…George invited me to his new home in Esher, just a few miles from the studio (Shepperton, where Grossman had just been shooting Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor). He had seen the photos I had taken of Ringo and Maureen in Austria and had requested that I come by and take some similar shots of him and Pattie. His house was called “Kinfauns”. It was a long white bungalow, situated on a lush plot of green grass and surrounded by a tall brick wall. A pool had recently been installed in the rear. Incredibly, just next door was an all-girl’s school.
When I arrived, I was pleased to find that John and Cynthia were there as well. They lived nearby and were frequent visitors. I snapped a lovely shot of the two of them in George’s drawing room. …The Lennon’s only stayed for a short while, but John invited me to come visit him as well, and we made plans to all meet over at their house later in the afternoon.
It was a glorious day outside, and George and Pattie showed me around the grounds. The sunlight was quite bright, and I clearly remember the way it was striking George. I said, “George, let me get this.” I shot a couple of photos of him alone and then called Pattie over. She put her arm around him, and the light was falling just perfectly for a portrait. I had to take it. And there it was. I’ve always loved the protective posture of Pattie’s arm around George in those photos.
As one shot turned into twenty, Pattie decided George’s wind-blown hair needed a touch up. I took a series of photos of her lovingly smoothing and combing it into a regulation Beatle-do. We spent a bit longer out on the lawn, and I got some wonderful shots of the two of them together, both in color and black and white.
* * * *This special portrait of Pattie and George is published in Henry Grossman’s book, Places I Remember; My Time With the Beatles, in a huge double-page size, which unfortunately has the book seam ruining the middle of the photo. This is an online version of the gorgeous portrait.
WHERE IS THAT PICTURE OF JOHN AND CYN?!
It was scanned and posted by the beatlesneveroutofstyle tumblr blog about three weeks ago - and it was published in People magazine’s March 11, 2013 issue. I also posted a version of it in the Cynthia Powell Lennon group at Yahoo! in the Files section, New Photos folder.
