Dual-sided page from Paul McCartney’s Liverpool Institute High School geography notebook from the 1959 school year, 6.25 x 7.75, unsigned, penned entirely in the hand of McCartney, who writes at the top of the first page: “Copenhagen (Pop. 1, 168, 500 out of total, Pop of 4 ½ mill).” Both sides of the page consist of geographical and historical facts about Denmark, with McCartney writing, in part: “The chief contribution of D. to modern Europe is the development of the co-op system as applied to agric. especially to the marketing of agric. products. Up to 1860s D was a country of mixed farming, producing cereals for export. The competition of the great prairies of Europe + America made cereal-growing unprofitable in this country of rather damp climate & small farms.” In fine condition. McCartney attended Liverpool Institute from 1953 to 1960, and it was where he met George Harrison.
Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks and by a letter of authenticity from noted Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo, who writes: “The purpose of this letter is to serve as authentication of the handwriting of Paul McCartney. This writing is found on a double-sided sheet of lined notebook paper…that has been taken from his 1959 Liverpool Institute Geography book from the period during which he was in form AM2. As part of his school assignment, Paul has written out 2 full pages, back-to-back, related to his Geography studies. Anything written, signed, or drawn by Paul McCartney in the 1950s when he was a teenager is extremely scarce and desirable.”
