Description

1963 ‘Fab Four’ Hoffman publicity portrait

Vintage Beatles 1963 Parlophone postcard photo, trimmed to a size of 3.5 x 4, boldly signed on the reverse in ballpoint, “George Harrison,” and “Lots of luck fellas! Paul McCartney,” and signed in fountain pen “Ringo Starr,” and “John Lennon.” In very good condition, with photo having been professionally cleaned and restored, aforementioned trimmed edges, noticeable crease through McCartney’s signature and sentiment, and remnants of small ink notations and tape removed from image side. Accompanied by two letters of authenticity from noted Beatles experts Frank Caiazzo and Perry Cox. Caiazzo notes that this was signed “within a couple months of its issuance.” Parlophone Records produced a small quantity of promotional photocards in two formats—a horizontal and a vertical, both with pictures being shot by Dezo Hoffman while the Beatles were in the studio. Almost all of these cards were signed on the reverse, because there was very little light area on the front of the cards for their signatures. Pre-certified Roger Epperson/REAL and RR Auction COA.
