Description

"Love from The Beatles (A Liverpool Band!)"

Extraordinary vintage circa 1962 segment of a hotel guest registry, 9 x 1.75, signed by each member of the Beatles with their name, address, and nationality: "Paul McCartney, 20 Forthlin Rd, Allerton, L'pool, British," "George Harrison, 174 Mackets Ln, Liverpool,” "R. Starkey, 10 Admiral Grove, L/pool, British," and "John Lennon, 251 Menlove Ave, Liverpool, ??." In the rightmost column, Lennon adds: "Love from The Beatles (A Liverpool Band!)." Handsomely matted and framed with a portrait of the Beatles to an overall size of 15.25 x 17. In fine condition. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from REAL.

A remarkable early set of Beatles signatures in which they list their homes in their native Liverpool—the 20 Forthlin Road address is where McCartney lived from 1955 to 1964, and today the National Trust calls the property 'the birthplace of the Beatles.' Harrison lived on Mackets Lane from 1962 until 1965, throughout the Beatles' meteoric rise to fame. Ringo Starr—born Richard Starkey—grew up at 10 Admiral Grove, living there with his mother from the time he was three years old in 1943 until achieving stardom in 1963. John Lennon spent his childhood at his Aunt Mimi's home, 251 Menlove Avenue, living there from 1946 until mid-1963. An ideal set of signatures that reveals the band's famous roots in Liverpool.
