With a cheeky smile and chubby cheeks, this three-year-old boy bears little resemblance to the rock 'n' roll star he grew into.
The
never-before-seen photo of a young Sir Mick Jagger - wearing
high-waisted trousers and white ankle socks - is among a collection of
images going on display as part of The Rolling Stones' first major
exhibition in London - the band's stomping ground in the Sixties.
Titled
'Exhibitionism', the interactive display, for which tickets go on sale
next week, opens at the Saatchi Gallery in west London in April, and
features 500 artefacts from the band’s personal archives, including
letters, costumes, and unseen video clips.

Jagger, aged three, looking smart in knee-length shorts, at home in
Brent Lane, Dartford in 1946, will feature in the London-based
exhibition
Other previously unseen snaps include Keith Richards, aged four, while on a family holiday in 1947 at Southend-On-Sea, Essex
Billed
as 'the most comprehensive and immersive insight into the world’s
Greatest Rock n’ Roll Band', the exhibition also includes collaborations
with big-name artists and designers such as Andy Warhol, Alexander
McQueen and Martin Scorsese.
The
exhibition, which will charter The Rolling Stones' 52-year career, will
be spread across two floors of the gallery and include original stage
designs, dressing room and backstage artefacts, and rare guitars and
instruments.
Speaking about the exhibition, 71-year-old Jagger said: 'We've been thinking about it actually for quite a long time.
'Collecting things, thinking about, ah this would be good, we'd better save this because we want people to see it.'
Ronnie Wood, aged four, dressed in a
striped shirt and dungarees, is pictured at his home in Whitehorn
Avenue, Yiewsley, West London, in 1951

'You
know, and we want people to see this, we want people to see that. Yes, I
mean it is a kind of look at your career and, er, I think it's a kind
of an interesting time to do it. We've got enough stuff, in fact too
much stuff.'
Keith Richards, 71, said: 'While this is about The Rolling Stones, it's not necessarily only just about the members of the band.
'It's
also about all the paraphernalia and technology associated with a group
like us, and it's this, as well as the instruments that have passed
through our hands over the years, that should make the exhibition really
interesting.'

Ronnie Wood said: 'The scene was great down the King's Road in the 1960s.
'That
was where you went to hang out to watch the fashions go by. So it is
appropriate that our Exhibitionism will be housed at the wonderful
Saatchi Gallery.'
The exhibition opens in April 2016 but tickets - priced from £19 for adults - will go on sale from July 10, 2015.
