The Beatles Yellow Submarine Hand-Painted "Suffragette" Film Cel

An original 1968 hand-painted animation cel for The Beatles' iconic animated film Yellow Submarine. This specific cel depicts a background character from the "Eleanor Rigby" sequence early in the film.

The "Suffragette" character embodies the highly influential illustration style of German artist Heinz Edelmann, who served as the film's production designer. Her elongated posture, oversized footwear, and flat blocks of bold colour reflect the counter-culture pop-art aesthetic of late-1960s London.

The handwritten question in the margin ("Should be purple/green/white?") directly references the historical Suffragette movement's colours (purple for loyalty and dignity, white for purity, and green for hope).

The Cel Measures 42 x 31 cm

The condition of the still is very good +
