Original issue of Rolling Stone magazine from February 7, 1970, No. 51, measuring 8.5 x 11.5 folded (as issued), with the front cover featuring Annette Yorke’s iconic portrait of John Lennon and Yono Ono with a pair of doves perched on their hands, signed above the image in black felt tip by John Lennon. The upper left of the cover proclaims Lennon as “Man of the Year,” and the lower section bears the main article title: “A Private Talk with John.” An unknown hand has added facial features to the two birds. In fine condition, with some edgewear. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from noted Beatles expert Perry Cox, who affirms that the autograph was obtained in the late 1970s.
A rare Lennon-signed issue of Rolling Stone that dates shortly before the Beatles’ official disbanding. The cover imagery aligns itself with Lennon and Ono’s famed bed-in protests and the couple’s multimedia campaign in December 1969—at the height of the counterculture movement and its protests against America's involvement in the Vietnam War—that primarily consisted of renting billboard space in 12 major cities around the world for the display of black-and-white posters that declared ‘WAR IS OVER! If You Want It—Happy Christmas from John & Yoko.’
