Vintage 3.5 x 5.5 postcard photo, signed on the reverse in blue ballpoint, “Ringo Starr,” “George Harrison,” “John Lennon,” and “Paul McCartney.” In very good condition, with diagonal creasing, with one affecting the first three letters of McCartney’s signature, light toning, soiling, and a small mounting remnant to the image. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from Frank Caiazzo, in which he states: “This card was signed by The Beatles within two months of Ringo’s arrival, making this one of the earliest sets with their new drummer in existence.”

The photo session from which the publicity card was produced commenced, most likely, in late September, and certainly no later than the first week of October. It was Les Chadwick of Peter Kaye Photography who drew the assignment as Kaye was out scouting around Liverpool for potential exterior shots. John and George, who had taken delivery of their new Gibson J-160E guitars on September 10 brought them along to the studio. This was The Beatles second session with Kaye Photography. Much to Chadwick’s dismay, the session timed out at three hours and The Beatles became bored and inattentive. Upon Kaye’s return, he asked, ‘How’d it go?’ ‘It’s hopeless,’ replied Chadwick. Even though the session was regarded by Chadwick as disastrous, several of the photos were used throughout 1963 for a vareity of promotional puposes, including several editions of The Beatles Show tour programs.
