Remarkable vintage glossy 8 x 6 photo of the Liverpool lads before their international fame, taken by photographer Peter Kaye in 1962, signed on the reverse in blue ballpoint during the same period, "John Lennon, xxx," "Lots of love, Paul McCartney, xxxxx," "George Harrison, xxx," and "Love, Ringo Starr, xxx." The reverse also bears notations identifying the Beatles members in the order shown on the front, as well as a youthful pencil sketch showing the band in their familiar formation—with Paul accurately portrayed as a lefty. In very good to fine condition, with creasing to the image, soiling and light staining to the signed side, and ballpoint notations to reverse. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from noted Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo, in part: "These signatures are on the reverse of a photograph which depicts the group in an early pose in Liverpool which was taken by photographer Peter Kaye…These signatures date from late 1962."
