ALS signed “Jeff,” one page on a 5.75 x 4 Italian postcard depicting the Tuscan seaside city of Viareggio, postmarked August 1967. Handwritten letter to his friend Darryl Stolper in Pacific Palisades, California, in full: "So far I've been to Holland (Amsterdam), Germany (Hamburg), Rome and moved up to The Riviera (Viareggio). Shall be here for 4 days. Weather in Rome HOT. But here it's raining!! Write soon, I'll write when I get home—(IF)!!" He adds a sketch of an umbrella and a brief handwritten postscript: "The beaches here are too much—!!" In fine condition.
Accompanied by photocopies of photos of Stolper with Beck and a copy of a letter from Stolper outlining their relationship. Stolper befriended Beck when the latter was in LA during a Yardbirds tour, and Stolper introduced Beck to Mary Hughes, who became Beck's girlfriend; he sings about her in the Yardbirds' song 'Psycho Daisies.' Beck and Stolper became close friends, with Beck often visiting Stolper in Pacific Palisades, and the two corresponded regularly. Also includes a handwritten slip by Stolper with notations related to a Muddy Waters song, and a slip on which Stolper wrote Beck's London and Kent addresses. At the time Beck wrote this card, he'd formed an early version of the Jeff Beck Group, with Rod Stewart, Ronnie Wood, and a rotating cast of drummers.
