Steve McQueen wears aviator sunglasses as he sits on his desk at his Hollywood office in 1969. McQueen's antihero persona, emphasized during the height of the counterculture of the 1960s, made him a top box-office draw for his films of the late 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s.

A stunning celebration of the career of one of Britain's greatest and most loved photographers, Rare Unseen features iconic imagery from Terry O'Neill's extensive archive of vintage prints. With work displayed and exhibited at first-class museums and fine-art galleries worldwide. This book collects hundreds of rare images featuring stars like Faye Dunaway, The Beatles, Robert Redford, Sharon Tate, Carrie Fisher, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Raquel Welch, and many more and is a true must for Terry's fans and photography collectors.

American actor, singer and Rat Pack member Dean Martin straightens his tie backstage at a Las Vegas nightclub in 1971. The darkness that surrounds Martin in the original photograph is filled by a galaxy of stars, martini glasses and dancing-girl designs reminiscent of the old-school neon displays that advertised clubs across America, forming a nightlife constellation with Dean Martin at its center.

Lennon belts out a note during the rehearsal for a TV special at Wembley Studios in April, 1964. Looking especially boyish in his glasses and sweater vest, Lennon's image is paired with notes, written from his younger self's perspective, which express his dream of becoming a famous musician when he grows up. The piece is particularly poignant when considering how famous Lennon went on to become, and how it later led to his murder.

In his famous high collar and a scarf, legendary singer Elvis Presley arrives at the International Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada on August 1st, 1969, the day of his comeback press conference. With his addition of a wall of multi-colored, pixel-like blocks, Taupin's reworking and its title allude to the coercive influence Elvis's manager Colonel Tom Parker held over the singer's life and career.

Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip pose for their official portrait in 1992. The piece on the wall in the background, which originally depicted a mediaeval scene, has been replaced by a vibrantly-coloured collage of logos from quintessentially British brands, a comment on the broad scope of national identity.

Actor and singer Frank Sinatra smokes during the making of The Lady in Cement in Miami, 1968. The title of Taupin's reworking doubles as a reference to Sinatra's hometown, and a homage to the 1953 American science fiction horror film It Came from Outer Space.

David Bowie is photographed in a waistcoat and suit pants during his 1976 concert at The Forum in Inglewood, California. The show was part of his Isolar Tour in support of the album Station to Station. 

Michael Caine grips a rifle on the set of the 1970 film Get Carter. Both Taupin's title and his vivid card-suit-diamond motifs allude to Caine's status as the quintessential working class Londoner in showbusiness, or, in cockney parlance, a 'diamond geezer'.

The world's greatest ever boxer, Muhammad Ali, trains for his fight with Alvin Lewis in Dublin, 1972. The logo superimposed on his chest, and the comic-book sound effects surrounding the speedball he's boxing, are inspired by Ali's famous retort to an air stewardess when she asked him why he wasn't strapped in like his fellow passengers: "Superman don't need no seatbelt!"

Terry O'Neill's 1992 official portrait of Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth II, her visage bordered by Taupin's repeating pattern of the Heinz baked beans logo. Though it originated in the US, the iconic food is to the British national consciousness what Campbell's tomato soup, which featured in paintings by Andy Warhol, is to America's.

Film and fashion icon Audrey Hepburn dons Oliver Goldsmith sunglasses on the set of How to Steal a Million, a comedy directed by William Wyler. Taupin has reimagined the empty white space of her felt helmet as a psychedelic portal, containing a vibrant ecosystem of cosmic and nature motifs. The original photograph was taken in Paris, France in 1966.

Raquel Welch rides a replica of a bomb on the set of Myra Beckenridge, a comedy based on Gore Vidal's novel of the same name and directed by Michael Sarne in 1970. Four years earlier, the actress had become an international sex symbol when the image of her in a doe-skin bikini on the set of the film One Million Years B.C. became a bestselling poster globally. She had only three lines in the film.

Paul Newman poses in a cowboy hat in Tucson, Arizona, in a publicity still for the 1972 comedy western Pocket Money. Newman, behind whom Taupin has arranged a downpour of gum wrappers and a section of the stars and stripes, was a conflicted patriot: a lover of cars and cold Budweiser who found himself on Richard Nixon's enemies list for opposing the Vietnam War.

With more than 300 photographs and quotes from the photographer himself, The Beatles by Terry O'Neill is a unique visual portrait of the story of John, Paul, George, Ringo and the music they made. O'Neill worked with the Beatles across five decades, capturing the band at the beginning of their rise to the top and the solo years beyond. From recording sessions, rehearsals and larking around town at the height of Beatlemania, to intimate shots at weddings, at home and on tour in the solo years after the band had split, he captured countless photographs, many of which are being published for the very first time here. With a unique perspective that is both personal and professional, The Beatles by Terry O'Neill is a one-of-a-kind collection of breathtaking photographs.

Italian actress Sophia Loren cuts a wistful figure during the filming of the 1978 film Brass Target in Switzerland. The frame on the wall, which in the original photograph held a painting of a mediaeval court scene, is replaced in Taupin's interpretation by a colourful abstract-expressionist piece, its paint leaking into the containing photograph to form a unsightly orange blotch on the actress's pristine white sheets.

A majestic 1971 shot of Sean Connery, the original 007, standing over the hood of his Aston Martin, which holds his vivid reflection, is backdropped by a bright Union Jack in Taupin's reworking of the original image. The flag's bold colors contrast with the black-and-white figure of Connery to emphasize the historical and cultural significance of both the actor and the iconic MI6 agent he epitomized.

Brigitte Bardot enjoys a casual lunch before setting off to promote her latest film, Edward Dmytryk's 1968 British-German-American Western Shalako, which co-starred Sean Connery. Taupin has eclipsed the flower in her hair in the original photograph is eclipsed by Taupin's appliqu'd copies, with more standing like cocktail garnishes on the rims of the glasses at the bottom of the shot.

The then-married actors Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor in Burton's trailer during the filming of the 1971 film Villain. The couple, both highly successful film stars, were twice married and twice divorced. According to the Associated Press, Burton bequeathed the bulk of his 2.7 million dollar estate to his fourth wife, Sally Hay Burton. He left Taylor nothing. In Taupin's rendition, the doomed lovers pose before dollar-sign wallpaper, holding Cupid's broken wings.
