Vintage 6 x 7.75 Valex cardstock composite photo of each band member on stage, signed and inscribed in red ink, “Margaret, with love, John Lennon.” The photo also bears barely legible indistinct signatures of Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, all added by Lennon. In very good condition, with moderate contrast to inscription, scattered creases, and mounting remnants to reverse. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the original recipient of the photo, whose school teacher acquired the signatures for her. In part, “The Beatles played Preston Public Hall on Friday September 13th 1963…John Lennon was my favorite. We had a very young & trendy teacher called Ian Thompson…One of his close friends played in a group called The Big Three…The concert went by in a blur of noise, excitement and disbelief. The support band managed to keep everyone well entertained before the star turn (It may have been the Big Three??)…I couldn’t wait to go to school the following Monday & discuss with my friends & Mr. Thompson…he redeemed himself when he gave me a promotional photo of the ‘Fab Four.’ I was astounded & never more pleased to receive anything in my life when I saw that it had been autographed by all the Beatles over their respective signatures…It transpired that Mr. Thompson was backstage throughout both performances (I think the Big Three were part of the lineup).” She goes on to detail a discussion between her teacher and Lennon when signing the photo, with Lennon commenting, “We didn’t have teachers like you when I was in school.”
