Vintage ballpoint signatures of the Beatles — "Paul McCartney," "John Lennon," "George Harrison," and "Ringo Starr” — on the reverse of a color 6 x 4 postcard of The Connaught hotel in London. In fine condition, with a light, unobtrusive crease.
Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the original recipient: “In 1965, my family was staying at the Connaught Hotel in London. We had just gone out to dinner and when we returned to the hotel the concierge rushed over to tell us that the Beatles had just finished dinner in the dining room and were about to come out. He thrust a hotel postcard into our hands and said: ‘Quick…get their autographs.’
We patiently waited in the hallway for a few minutes and when the doors opened all 4 Beatles and their wives and manager walked out. It was just my 10-year-old sister and me (18) in the hall. It had been less than a year that the Beatles were on the Ed Sullivan TV show in the US. I was surprised how short and thin they were. TV is so deceptive. John was actually my height. We chatted for a while…they commented how interesting it was that we came all the way from America to get their autographs.”
