Eppridge was a photojournalist's photojournalist at LIFE Magazine and Sports Illustrated, and his work is among the most iconic of his generation. He was given unfathomable access by today's standards, and conveyed a deep understanding of whatever subject he was covering. He was able to follow the Beatles on their first six days in the United States, generating a body of work that captures the energy of this young band as they were discovered by a nation already full of anticipation and heady adoration. His most famous photograph, some may recall, was of a busboy cradling a dying RFK, is just one outstanding image from a career made of many.

The exhibit was first on view in 2014 at Bethel Center for the Arts on the site of the Woodstock Festival in upstate New York. A book of Eppridge's Beatles photographs, 6 Days that Changed the World was published by Rizzoli in 2014 to mark the 50th anniversary of the Beatles' arrival in the United States. Eppridge's work is represented by the Monroe Gallery of Photography in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

The exhibit of 55 black-and-white gelatin silver prints was hand-darkroom-printed by Catherine Vanaria, who is an Assistant Professor of Art and Chair of the Art Department at Western Connecticut State University, as well as co-owner of Connecticut Photographics and Still River Editions.
