Vintage glossy 4 x 5.75 German promotional photograph of Jimi Hendrix, issued by the Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger (Kölnische Zeitung) for Hendrix's appearance at Studio Dumont in Cologne, Germany, on January 13, 1969, signed prominently in the lower border in felt tip, “Jimi Hendrix.” The lower portion bears the newspaper's blue-printed masthead and an event-specific inscription: “Jimi Hendrix, 13. 1. 69, Pressehaus Köln,” directly linking the piece to the date and location of its issuance. In very good condition, with overall creasing. Accompanied by a detailed provenance letter and a group of 10 glossy photos, 8 x 6 and 6 x 8, of documentary stills from contemporary television footage showing Hendrix participating in the autograph session and signing cards of this exact type.
According to the accompanying provenance research, the card was produced exclusively for a January 13, 1969 autograph session in Cologne, held in conjunction with The Jimi Hendrix Experience's appearance at the Kölner Sporthalle that evening during its January 1969 European tour. The provenance materials identify the event as having taken place at Studio Dumont within the Pressehaus Köln complex and further note that contemporary television footage of the event shows Hendrix seated at a table signing these specially produced newspaper-issued promotional cards.
Few organized autograph appearances by Hendrix are known, making this one of the most thoroughly documented examples from his career. Bearing the printed date, venue reference, and newspaper attribution integral to its design, this signed photocard is a particularly well-documented example from Hendrix's career.
