Beatles Fully Signed ‘Post Break-up’ Photograph - Each Autograph Obtained In-Person After the Group’s Official Disbanding in April 1970

Description

Peerless, incomparable fully signed Beatles photograph featuring four ‘solo era’ autographs of John, Paul, George, and Ringo, obtained in person over a five-year period beginning in 1976—the only known band-signed ‘post break-up’ photo known to exist

Vintage glossy 10 x 8 photo of the Beatles seated together at a press conference before their concert at the Cincinnati Gardens in Cincinnati, Ohio, on August 27, 1964, signed in various ink types by all four musicians, with each member having signed at a different location after their official disbanding in April 1970: in blue ink by Paul McCartney on May 24, 1976, outside of the Stanhope Hotel in New York City; in red felt tip by George Harrison on November 15, 1976, at the Ambassador Hotel in New York City; in black felt tip by John Lennon on December 20, 1976, outside of The Dakota building in New York City; and in black felt tip by Ringo Starr on March 24, 1981, when the rock star appeared as a guest on the Phil Donahue Show in Chicago. The signatures were obtained by pioneering in-person autograph collector Howard Siegel, an amateur photographer from Cincinnati who also took candid shots of other famous musical acts like Elvis Presley, Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, and The Who. In very good to fine condition, with overall creasing, and a tiny hole touching the 'a' in McCartney's first name.

Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from noted Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo, which reads, in part: “Complete Beatles autograph sets from the solo era are as rare as rare can be. There were not many in-person graph obtainers in the 1970s who would have had the ability to get all four on separate occasions and separate locations – but there was one. His name was Howard Siegel…This is the only known photograph in existence that has been signed by all four members of The Beatles after they broke up in 1970, thus making it incredibly scarce and desirable.”
