Description

Scarce signatures of the Beatles, circa 1962—dating to their local Merseyside fame

Ultra-early vintage ballpoint signatures and inscriptions, "Love from John Lennon, xxx," "To Carol with love from George Harrison, xxxx," "To Carol, Love, Ringo Starr, xxx," and "To Carol, love Paul McCartney, xxx," on the reverse of a 3.5 x 5.5 photo of a British teenager in her yard, annotated at the top, "July 1962 - Age 15." On the front, over the image, is a vintage newspaper clipping offering brief biographical information on each of the Beatles. In very good condition, with staining and soiling, corner creases, and old tape from a clipping on the photo side touching Lennon's sentiment. Accompanied by a photocopy of a letter of authenticity from noted Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo, noting: "This card was signed circa 1962, shortly after Ringo Starr joined the band in August of that year."
