Lot 39: The Beatles, a photograph signed by all four band members, circa 1964
A mid-1960s black and white promotional photograph of the English rock band The Beatles, featuring Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, George Harrison, and John Lennon. The band members are depicted in matching dark suits. The photograph is signed by all four members in blue ink across the lower section of the image. The signatures are positioned over the subjects’ clothing and remain legible. The item is a silver gelatin or similar period print on paper, currently housed in a clear plastic protective sleeve. This image corresponds with promotional materials produced during the height of the band’s international success in the mid-1960s.
Condition report:
The photograph exhibits signs of wear consistent with age and handling, including visible creasing across the surface and edge wear, most notably along the bottom margin. All four signatures are clear and legible against the darker tones of the print. The protective sleeve bears a small orange auction label in the upper left corner.
