Description

One-of-a-kind snapshot, signed during his NYC ‘Lost Weekend’ while recording Walls and Bridges

Color glossy 3.5 x 3.5 candid photo of Lennon walking outdoors, signed upside down in black ballpoint. In fine condition, with small vertical crease along Lennon’s sideburn, and some light skipping to the first name of the signature. Photo is stamp-dated on the reverse, June 1974, by Kodak. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from noted Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo stating, “This signature also dates from 1974, shortly after the shot was taken. This is an excellent example from that time period, being very neat and very complete.” Dating from his “Lost Weekend,” the former Beatle was in New York at the time with his companion May Pang to record the solo album, Walls and Bridges. Lennon signed photos from the mid-1970s are becoming increasingly difficult to find and are extremely desirable. Pre-certified Roger Epperson/REAL and RR Auction COA.
