Two original sketches, both done by an admirer, on individual off-white 8.5 x 11.5 sheets of sketch paper. One, a pencil sketch of Lennon sporting long hair and his trademark round glasses, signed in person vertically in blue ballpoint, "John Lennon," adding a quick self-caricature under his signature; a pencil notation on the reverse (now obscured by the frame's backing), states that Lennon's signature was obtained at the "Carlyle Hotel, Sgt. Pepper Premiere Night, 11-17-74." Interestingly, the collector noted that Lennon said "you sketched me, I'll sketch for you." The other sketch, a pencil and ink sketch of a bearded McCartney, is signed in black ballpoint, "Paul McCartney." The McCartney signature was obtained in person on November 23, 1974, at the Stanhope Hotel in New York City. Handsomely double-matted and framed together to an overall size of 24.5 x 18. In fine condition.
