Description

Pristine 1963 Dezo Hoffman classic portrait signed backstage for a lucky contest winner

Absolutely magnificent vintage 7 x 9.5 program photo by Dezo Hoffman of the band looking sharp in their matching iconic collarless suits in the spring of 1963, nicely signed and inscribed in fountain pen, “Love to Christine from John Lennon xx,” “George Harrison xxx,” “Paul McCartney xxx,” and “Love, Ringo Starr xxx.” Beautifully archivally triple-matted and framed to an overall size of 17 x 19.5. In fine, clean condition. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from noted Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo. Signatures were obtained between August 19–24, 1963, in Bournemouth, Hampshire, by a young female fan who was invited to meet the group back stage after winning a Disc magazine contest, during their six-day engagement at the Gaumont Cinema. A stellar example of one of their most famous images, almost unparalleled in its condition, boasting bold and unhurried signatures. Pre-certified Roger Epperson/REAL and RR Auction COA.
